[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 6543113, member: 102103"]Couple of pound coins someone brought back from a trip. I've heard that the collars which create the edge lettering are placed at any orientation, so the text is about 50-50 to face the front or back. Is the lettering also randomly oriented rotationally as to where the words line up compared to the top of the coin? Any answers for the UK or other countries with edge lettering are welcomed. I don't have a lot of lettered modern coins to use for comparison. [ATTACH=full]1262294[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1262295[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1262296[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
