British currency rules dictate that all legal tender show the current monarch on the coins.  Our sovereigns are sovereigns for life. They are not voted in for a term of office.
When the Queen has had her day, Charles will be the new monarch and will continue to do so until his day is up. Then it will be William, then George.
It's called a monarchy. 
History is a subject worth understanding.

A few Perth Mint pickups from this week.
First is the new 2oz silver bullion version of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One. Very attractive coin.
Next is the 2oz silver antiqued Dragon & Phoenix coin. I bought one of these when they were first issued and put my name on the waiting list for the 2nd which came in this week. 
And lastly a Christmas present from the mint, a tin of Perth Mint mints! 

Just been Posted Coinsters !!!!!!!!!  From Daz , This is what the 10p Coins look like Coinsters !!!!!!!  The Washing Machine was not Included.

Are you sure my number is in the draw?  I don't think I'll be able to handle the suspense much longer. I'm starting to crack, I'm checking if you've made the draw every 20 mins. from 6 am. My nerves are shredded.
 I know someone has to be last, but why is it always poor old me. lol
A very "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to all and to your families. 
Peace and Love.  Rob6

I also got drawn finally! Boy I couldn't wait much longer for something cool like this! I'm happily waiting for my gift from @evende which won't be opened untill Christmas! Very excited to see what's in there..
Can we also do a Happy Easter drawing, St. Patricks Day drawing, Hot Summer drawing, and stuff like that?? 😂

I'm sure 'anytime on the day' is all anyone can ask, and actually adds to the excitement! 
A kissogram's schedule is not predictable after all, particularly at this time of year!
Not that I'd know much about that myself

A few comments here are a bit harsh but to be expected. You have been a member of this forum for the best part of 2 years.
In April 2017 you posted asking about which gold coins to buy. You were showered with 2 pages of suggestions. You made good choices in the coins you got if you were looking at 1oz coins. Your intention was to hold them for a number of years. All good so far. You joined a community of gold bugs, you asked for advice, you made good coin choices, you realised gold coins are longer time frame holdings.
You did not post on the forum since then and selling the coins. That does not mean you haven't been reading and learning about gold and silver, a lot of people prefer to watch and read rather than mucking in. However i suspect you haven't been reading much.
You then sold the coins. You didn't ask for the advice of the community but you did come back to tell us you made a £600 loss selling to Atkinson's. You panicked - you say you wanted to get rid of them as quickly as possible.
Members are being unsympathetic b/c to them it is barn door obvious that rather than posting to say you 'got stung' you should have posted asking for advice about selling. You would have had a queue of people wanting to buy those coins. You could have used Backyard Bullion as an intermediary, a new service he is offering. Longstanding members would not diddle you, they have their good name to defend, they are decent honest members of a community. You are in a round about way saying we are untrustworthy. You didn't trust us anyway.
i don't think selling now was the right decision but i might be proven wrong. That is a judgement call that only and time will tell. The issue is you didn't need to lose the £600. You could have come out clean, you might even have made a profit.
It is done now.

I've been thinking about this and my suspicion is that pretty much no matter what the outcome Sterling will recover.
Any decision may be better for Sterling than the current uncertainty.   
 
 

Confirmed. I Think (we were just checking our items on the first page matched up correctly with our usernames weren't we?)
 
I've been saving packaging from stuff I've been buying recently to ship my prize in. Proper Yorkshireman me, I'll give away 2oz silver, but I'm not spending 20p on a jiffy bag! 

Just to add, if you are looking for a one way bet, then don’t invest in anything - you will always be disappointed. 
Best dicker

I hope so. For my sake, that is.
I've heard that house prices will fall dramatically after Brexit. Are you thinking of selling up?
😋

No worries - I don't always learn from my mistakes so you might get another opportunity in a few years.

@Glorfindel, I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with gold and that you lost part of your 'investment'.
But that is nothing compared to how sorry I am that I wasn't able to pick up 1oz Queen's Beasts or Britannias for less than spot 🙁

Sure, it was your avatar that confused me! 😉
I ask because I'm in my 6th decade of life and I don't know what is around the corner. 
I always read 'for the long term' or 'for my kids' yet it's alien to me. I haven't had that option.
Wait. What? Gold has been available for ever so why are people stacking 'for the long term' now when there wasn't that option before?
It seems that silver and gold have become the greatest asset class available. Well, since 2011 that is.
Don't give your kids gold. They know less what to do with it than you do. Should they leave it to their kids?
Use your gold. Buy bricks and mortar and land when everyone else has to sell. Spend it when it's most wanted.
As for inheritance, don't die a rich man. 😉
