	British Two Pound coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the first bi-metallic coin to be produced for circulation in Britain since the tin farthing with a copper plug produced in 1692, and the highest denomination coin in current circulation.
		The coin weighs 12.00 grams and is 28.40 millimetres in diameter.
		Because of technical difficulties, the 1997-dated coins, which bear the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf, were not released to circulation until June 1998 (the same time as the 1998-dated coins).

		The pound was eventually devalued by 14.3 per cent to $2.41 in November 1967.

	British coin Florin - ArtPolitic Encyclopedia of Politics : Information Portal
		The motion was subsequently withdrawn on the understanding that a one-tenth Pound coin would be produced to test the waters of public opinion.

	British Coin decimalisation
		The following year, the pound note was replaced with a brass coin due to inflation, which had made the printing of the notes uneconomic (they had a relatively short life and considerable security measures and controls had to be exercised in their printing).
		Unlike the earlier coins, all of which were made from nickel-brass, the new coins were bimetallic with a central cupro-nickel inner disc bonded to an outer brass ring.
		The ten pence coin followed in 1992, reduced down to a size similar to the old five pence but, to prevent fraudulent use of old five pence coins, particularly in cash machines, it was made slightly larger and heavier.

		But at the conclusion of all the discussion that ensued, I was smugly satisfied that the principle of parity absolutely dictated that the number of cogged wheels connected together in a circle must be even, if the wheels are to turn at all.
		Since the British coin featured a ring of 19 wheels, it was very obvious that those wheels were locked together in such a way that they could not turn.
		A comment was also made that since this coin was issued to honor British industry, it was an embarrassment to the designer — and to the Royal Mint.
