Recently, UK royal issued a new coin. The coin is worth five pounds. This coin is unusual because it has John Lennon's face on it.
John Lennon Coin
I think it is crazy that people voted for an artist to become one of the few public figures in London on a special coin. However, it does seem fitting since this year marks the 70th birthday. Lennon joins William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale in the pack of special coins. John Lennon clearly made an impact on the UK. In his hometown, Liverpool, there is an airport named after him. There is also a statue of him in the center of Liverpool.
The coin has a face value of 5 pounds (which is $8 is US currency); however it will be put up for sale for 44.99 pounds. The article said that only 5,000 of these coins will be offered for sale.
