    Got my first coin with your kings head on it.
    Text my daughter saying I got a 50p with big ears on it. She said what is it worth thinking this was on it.

    That's illegal. I used to put two pence pieces on the railway lines to make oval shape flat coins.

    Ian, we Taffs can go one better - as well as a King we have a real live Prince. A Prince of Wales.

    Little problem tho' not sure if there's a suitable (safe!) place to hold his Investiture in Cymru!

    Should put him on universal credit and see how he copes. Should be able to eat well for 30p a meal. Can still have his picture on stamps and coins....
