Three million 50p coins, due to be issued this Friday inscribed with October 31 as Brexit Day, are to be melted down and recycled.
That's £1.5 million.
Couldn't they have given them to food banks or homeless people or something?

I dont see your logic the only cost incurred is the cost of making them its not £1.5 million lost. |

Why does nobody ever mention how much it costs us as a country every time that we have another extension? Surely that money could be put to better use too. |

Fair point. So far brexit has cost us dearly in terms of the value of the pound plummeting and the millions spent on three years of preparing to leave but dont forget it has cost other EU countries too. I wonder if it will be worth it if it ever happens. Just think of all the good things we could have been doing with that money - Brexit the gift that keeps on giving  |

It will be decades and decades of none payments of EU contributions before we have anywhere near a chance to leveling off and reversing the monetary loss Brexit has inflicted on our country. |

This, plus leaving the EU looks like it is going to shrink our once great economy so much that the collectible tax revenues are going to reduce by way more than our EU contributions  |

I hope Boris's Brexit plan or whatever plan we get, whenever we get it will aim to fix the gigantic losses UK PLC has had to endure so far.
I just wonder honestly if anyone of us will still be alive to see it. |

It's equivalent to setting fire to a pile of bank notes.
(Like those bullingdon boys do in front of homeless people) |

"So if you managed to get hold of one of these coins, they would be a fortune in years to come on the antiques roadshow!!!"
Make sure you spend it before Brexit. It'll buy you less in the days after

Wasted money again and that stupid waste of money on that October 31st advertising campaign £100 million pounds.
How much money does Boris need to piss up the wall to win an election, lots apparently  |

Only 3% of money actually exists.
The rest is just numbers on an electronic spreadsheet.

Taxpayer money has been wasted in designing, tooling, producing and destroying these coins though.
They weren't needed at all were they?
That is true isn't it? |
