The Godfather of Manx House Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I await the release of an enormous selection of coins in the shape of a Terracotta Army. After all, there's a Chinese man living above the local takeaway. He even works evenings downstairs. The Queens beaten you to it. The Royal Mint does terracotta army coins, £225 for 4. The Queen beating Keyboarder ? I'd pay to watch that... ...GOMH*... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ushtey Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Ooo, I want me one of those. Yours for a mere £12.72. Clicky clicky! £12.72 now. Probably worth considerably more in a few years on Ebay after the production run is sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahc Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 What a stupid irrelevant idea for a coin. (and it's a triangle, not a pyramid) And the exhibition isn't even coming to the island. What is the point of this seemingly randomly inspired project? It's not a triangle, a triangles is a 2D shape. More likely a rectangular based prism. Looks like a very small Ningi to me.

Pat Ayres Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Let's have some numbers here; How much was it to produce this coin?; How much to repair the Queens Pier?; How much to underwrite the Peel Bay Festival?; How much is anticipated it will earn the island?; How much did the wife of the chairman of MEB claim for travelling expenses for the last 4 years before he left his post~? I think these may be in order, anyone know different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these may be in order, anyone know different? Four hundred thousand of these "pyramid coins". That's how much they were. Can you pay for pyramid schemes with these?

Pat Ayres Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Silliness aside, why don't the gov actually encourage things like this, unique and only actually any good in the island? Some ideas; Absolutely personalised number plates. Anything that's not too rude and charge £2000 a time. All proceeds to the queens pier of course; Individualised addresses, just put 'John's house, IOM on a letter and it gets to them, Same price and conditions of course; Personalised phone numbers, The bishop would be 666666, Alan Bell 101010 etc; You get the drift. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Because their not interested in saving Queens pier, if they were they'd have done something by now... So working on those stats, they could create a coin with a picture of the queens pier, £12 a piece with £11 at least going to the "save the pier" fund....., but they won't.

Pat Ayres Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I was being silly about the pier, only because I bang on about it when ever I can. The main ideas are worthy of comment though I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
