As if the Bank of England's troubles with animal tallow on the new polymer banknotes weren't enough, now the Royal Mint has to recall the new pound coin. Thanks to Len
Augsburger for forwarding this article from Royal Central. -Editor
All new £1 coins are to be recalled following a request made by The Queen, who has asked that her head is to be featured on both sides of the new 12-sided coin.
Her Majesty is said to be ‘unhappy’ that despite being on the throne for 65 years, she still only appears on the reverse side of the coin.
