Very nice, the pound could be better, but having a design across all the other coins was a great idea.

£35k is a bargain – was it a competition or ’free-pitching’ on the sly?

Think it was a competition. Lucky kid. I would have loved to do that.

Definitely, it doesn't get much more prolific or profile building than that does it! He's only 26, he's made now! Good on him!

I really like them, the one pound coin does bring all the other coins together.

However we do have a £2 coin as well, is this not being re-designed too?
