Quote: I'm afraid I need more clues to decipher that. it asks you how interested you'd be in each one, 10 being the highest interest and 1 the lowest, so I put 10 WW1!

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 8:28 pm Got it, so 7 for the Commonwealth Games, 3 for Dylan Thomas ... Does that mean you'll be submitting patterns for WW1 coin? Or first you have to be picked? Or they don't want you to create one, just would like to know if you wish to see a coin made? ... I guess I didn't exactly got it. Report this Post to the Staff
augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 01/26/2012 07:42 am I think WW1 is the most important event out of those for a coin. I think it should be on a 50p. The commonwealth games should probably get a 2 pound and dylan can get one of the welsh coins, seeing as I've never read anything he wrote and only know about the milk chocolate thing he did, or was it milk wood? Can't taste that good, TV chefs huh? The proposal for the public design was the one pound series, so all the other coin designs will go to graphic designers like Dent, or perhaps the more sculpture based, put a little relief in it designers. But if they do open it up to the public I'll enter, I thought about the mountain series today, and realised how boring that could be, seeing as hardly anyone will be able to recognise the shape of Ben Nevis, let alone whatever mountain or hill is highest in NI!

The British Empire lost 1M+ dead and 2M+ wounded, and it's a war fading from the modern consciousness. Report this Post to the Staff
James Royal Mint UK Royal Mint Representative United Kingdom 40 Posts	Posted 01/30/2012 10:33 am Hi Augsburger, would you mind editing the top part of your post? I believe we want to reveal these themes only to the original survey group as far as possible! If you would like to be included in the survey in any way, and are not already part of it...get in touch with me on here and I'll see what I can do :) Thanks, James Report this Post to the Staff
