New Pound Coin
At last, the final piece of the jigsaw that is the new design of the British coins. Actually not so much the final piece, rather it's the jigsaw box!

New Two Pence
Sarah at work found this yesterday...
Brilliant!
Just been to see the Film Man on Wire, a documentary film about a french man who walked across a tightrope strung between the twin towers in New York, amazing and mad stuff, but agree with the chap who did it that is was a beautiful thing to do. Even though he could not give a good reason for doing it (When I see three oranges, I juggle; when I see two towers, I walk) it seems to me that such a dangerous, potentially life ending stunt carries a lot of meaning... I just have not worked out what that meaning is yet!

New One Pence
Exciting stuff! Ivonne found this in her change yesterday.
So now I have the 5p and the 1p, where will the next one be found?

New Five Pence
I am sorry I have not posted a pub review this week, I have actually been to the City Gate several times since the last post, but forgot my camera each time!
Plenty happening at work to keep me entertained though, we have gone from being a troubled bank, to a beleaguered lender (what a lovely word!) back to troubled again. Next week is the Extraordinary General Meeting (I picture extraordinary as there being jugglers, dancing badgers, trapeze artists and perhaps a guest visit from Elvis) so we will be in the news all over again.
More excitingly we found one of the new design coins at work this week, if you did not know about the new designs then see the Royal Mint site (http://www.royalmint.com/newdesigns/designsRevealed.aspx). My plan is to collect all of them and mount them on a card or perhaps in a frame. Here is the first specimen.
