Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 12:17 am G'day Chrisild, and thankyou: I live in a city named after DARWIN. Our University recently changed its name to "Charles Darwin University", in case the connection was too subtle. I don't collect modern UK coins, but I'll have to pick up a 2009 GBP-2.

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 07:05 am All four issues are interesting, theme wise, in my opinion. None of the coins commemorates anything "abstract" - such themes are often difficult to visualize. (For example, I find this year's Slave Trade Abolition coin to be quite disappointing.) Plus, they can all be had at face value. Good. Christian Report this Post to the Staff

magusxxx Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 07/18/2007 10:38 pm I'm going to buy a bunch of Proof Darwin coins and auction them off on ebay. I'll then use the money to buy Intellegent Design textbooks and donate them to the local high school. Report this Post to the Staff

I'll then use the money to buy Intellegent Design textbooks and donate them to the local high school. One of my friends gave me a Bible and some anti-evolution books, of which I have no use. Maybe we can make a deal to swap. Report this Post to the Staff
magusxxx Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 07/18/2007 11:34 pm Let's just hope Scientology doesn't come out with a coin. If they did. It would show up slabbed with a black covering. If you wanted to see the front you'd have to pay. If you wanted to see the back you'd have to pay more. If you took it out of the holder to see the rim you'd be sued for violating their intellectual property. Report this Post to the Staff
