ugh i totally forgot that the UK Royal mint literally has a shop wherey ou can buy coins. like,. commemorative coins.
of current spendable coins
but also coins that have new unique designs on to commemorate certain events
and they cost way more than regular coins
but they are worth the same amount as regular coins, even though they're 100% brand new
... and that we made fucking brexit coins haugoaiuhfuygasgifaslhFSAUOFIAFSUFCK
@pup_hime oh good so it's not just the UK being bloody weird then I don't feel quite so embarassed now e_e;
@Nine we got that bad here in US. Used to be you could lie and say they accrued value. It’s like the worst of the collectors market meets Ponzi scheme
@Nine every countrys mint makes commemorative coins
theyre worth the same as normal coins if you use them as money but that would be an incredibly silly thing to do bc theyre for collectors
