    The Royal Mint says a L20 coin is legal tender.

    Since yesterday, whenever I click on some pages of the "Guardian"*
    website, I get occasional banner ads 3/4 way down the screen
    featuring coins, not all of which are new, It was only when I
    scrolled tight to the end of the banner that I saw The Royal Mint
    logo.

    And all just as a result of clicking on links. I've only
    ever previously encountered this, as a result of an eBay search
    which resulted in spam from ISTR a Chinese Outfit offering boots
    and rucksacks. **

    Who would ever want take the word of a Spammer, on anything ?

    * which unlike the BBC and other "trusted news sites" don't feature
    the devastating loss felt by the cast of "Friends", the funniest TV
    Comedy ever, in the history of the World, at the death of Matthew
    Perry on Saturday, one of the funniest people ever in the history
    of the World.

    As a Front Page Story. Three days after his death

    You can almost imagine former members of the French Resistance
    being interviewed after the war. "We only ever listened to the
    BBC as we knew they were the only ones we could rely on for
    protracted coverage of the deaths of Hollywood Film Stars

    The BBC, The Royal Mint, where will it all end ? Oh sorry that's
    forgetting we've already had Boris Johnson as our Prime Minister

    ** Which is why I've never felt any necessity for ad-blockers
    and the like.
