Thomas.Dodson Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Following with the recent recognition of Mary Anning the Royal Mint has announced a commemorative coin collection in her name. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-dorset-56182579 As part of the Royal Mint's "Tales of the Earth" series this follows dinosaur coins they minted last year. https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/the-dinosauria-collection/ I find it really interesting how they're also tying in education on British paleontology and paleontologists. The new coins will also feature AR to discuss more about the specific fossils. A little fancy for me but I'm sure the educational information will accompany the Royal Mint website like they did in the Dinosauria Collection. Maybe some nice invertebrate fossils will appear on Tales of the Earth coins in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
