Royal Mint: Non-fungible Tokens
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what quantity of Non Fungible Tokens for Britain designed by the Royal Mint his Department plans to purchase; and how much funding from the public money has been allocated for financial years (a) 2022-23 and (b) 2023-24 to pay for those purchases.
- Answer
-
The Government announced in April 2022 that the Royal Mint intended to create and issue a non-fungible token. The Royal Mint operates as a commercial business, and a non-fungible token would be a collectable digital artwork marketed to consumers as an extension of its existing collectables range. No public funding has been allocated to purchase this product. An update on this work will be provided in due course.
