Personally,I reckon that guests should be banned from posting on the forum,as this can lead to spammers posting their junk.
What do you think? Your views please.

Paul, There has also been condemnation from Virginia Ironside,the daughter of the late Christopher Ironside (the designer of the original decimal coin designs),who has said that her father must be turning in his grave if he knew what was happening with his designs.

Sullyo, Britannia will still have its place - on gold & silver Britannia medal-coins,which have been issued since 1987.
I also agree that it is sad that the figure of Britannia will not be on the 50 Pence coin anymore.
Britannia has appeared on coins prior to the reign of King Charles II.She first appeared on the reverse of an ancient Roman coin.

Sullyo, There's a discussion on www.worldofcoins.eu/forum about this.I don't like the new coin designs,as to me,taking the British Coat-of-Arms & hacking it into several designs is just an insult.There's nothing innovative at all about these coin designs. Yes,I am a numismatist myself. Aidan.

The idea of repealing the Act of Settlement is a very dangerous one,as it will open a huge Pandora's Box.As one who is a Protestant,I don't like the idea of the British Dominions having a Romanist monarch.King James II of England/VII of Scotland was a terrible monarch who was deservedly overthrown.
I would have no problem with the British monarch being a Presbyterian,even though I am an Anglican.
Repealing the Act of Settlement could spark off moves to break up the United Kingdom.Although I am of Scots descent,I am opposed to the idea of an independent Scotland,especially a Scotland that is Angliphobic.

It's been an extremely long time since anyone in the Royal Family was given the name 'James'.Perhaps he was named after his ancestor King James VI of Scotland/I of England & Ireland.

Royal wills should be kept private.That Robert Brown is a crackpot who needs putting away - in a rubber room (padded cell),that is!
