The following is an article excerpt from Coinweek

Today, both the smallest and the largest UK coins ever minted at The Royal Mint are among 70,000 coins on trial at the Trial of the Pyx. Weighing just one fortieth-ounce and measuring a delicate 8mm wide, the coin features a modern interpretation of Britannia. The imposing Kilo coin measures at 100mm wide and continues The Royal Mint's five-year commemoration of the centenary of the First World War.

The Trial of the Pyx is an ancient annual ceremony and is one of the oldest quality assurance trials in the world. At the Trial, samples of circulating and commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint over the last year are selected at random and weighed for accuracy.

I wonder what they would say if my bag of 2014 error/flaw coins landed on their table !
They may be the right weight but they certainly shouldn't have passed quality control, if the mint has QC anymore.
Yet again the mint make the claim that they don't make errors/mistakes with their coins, change the record its starting to get Cud on it mate.
