LOL. That's why cat's can be so cool. Mind you that one seems to have an inbuilt delay loop operating, and is totally bluffed. Maybe the stuffed one winked at him or something.
Cheers, Mike.

As they say "On being asked about the disappointment of owners about resale values, he said: "Commemorative coins are not sold as investments. They're sold to celebrate commemorative events.".
Crowns are legal tender but most places won't accept them. Also watch out for the outfits called the Jubilee Mint, and the London Mint, they are not Mints just coin dealers, and have no connection with the Royal Mint itself Royal Mint
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

Over here, we have the Franklin Mint, which makes coins for all kinds of things that are not legal tender anywhere.
There are also companies that market coins with cool designs, even commemorating American history or historical figures, and proclaim that they are legal tender... without telling you that they are only legal tender in some obscure country in Africa and pretty much worthless anywhere else.

Don't worry Annie, King Charles III won't reign for long, then you can Jump in quickly as Queen Anne II :-) William will be busy flying a chopper somewhere so won't notice for a bit.
Ah yes the Franklin Mint, they advertise here as well. The British Post Office will accept genuine Royal Mint crown coins in exchange for postal services, but that is all. And yes these commemorative sets in the UK are usually stated to be legal tender in St Helena or some other little island that got paid five bob to agree to their name being used. Else the "Issuing Authority" is Tristan Da Cunha or similar, which may not even be legal tender there either.
Coin collectables is big business, but there is no money to be made from it. The 1977 jubilee silver crown is worth £1 on Ebay, and face value from a dealer. But start talking banknotes and it is a different story. Old white £5 notes are worth £200-300. Old brown ten shilling notes are £50-70, and the blue ones £85-100.

We'd see a little less... pomposity with that royal wand thingy wotdgermecallit.
The sceptre.
And the ballorby-doodah would be put to good use too I'm sure.
Excuse ME my good woman, thems are the Crown Jewels you are referring to, the Crown, the Orb, and the sceptre, some of the most famous artefacts in the world and the very symbol of what the British Monarchy stands for (usually the National Anthem ...)

For a start, I wouldn't open Parliament - I'd lock it.
But but but, then we'd have Black Rod and the Duke of Norfolk down at the job Centre, not a lot going in their line of work these days. Industrial tribunals for wrongful dismissal etc etc, oh no we can't have that. Just think of the compensation clauses in their contracts, the country would go bankrupt!
Anyway we all like a bit of pomp and ceremony and circumstance (cue for a song?) we'd have to cancel last night at the proms as well, unthinkable!

Well.
If we went straight for Mike's dissolution of the current monarchy, I think it would be nice :)

But if we didn't - I could see myself becoming a monarchist...
