Proceeding contribution from Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 4 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coinage (Measurement) Bill.


Coinage (Measurement) Bill

My hon. Friend makes a valid point. I would like to think that that would be the case. It is my understanding that the coins will be put up for sale—and sale only. The Royal Mint wants to ensure that the two commemorative kilogram coins will crown the range of coins. Judging from the reception of similar coins around the world, and after consulting representatives of the coin trade and collectors, the Royal Mint is confident that the UK kilogram coins will be well received—but hopefully not by the IOC.
