Interesting and attractive. I wonder about the durability of the images. Good photos in the article.

“The Royal Mint has launched a new range of 50p coins that celebrate the contribution Britain has made to the discovery of dinosaurs – and they communicate with your phone.

In partnership with the Natural History Museum, a brand-new line of coins have been produced which showcase the megalosaurus, iguanodon and hylaeosaurus.

The Dinosauria Collection's Brilliant Uncirculated edition uses state-of-the-art colour printing to bring the dinosaurs to life.”

Doesn't appear they're for normal circulation.

Correct; for collectors only. The term is “Non-Circulating Legal Tender” (NCLT).
