Remember me?

It's twenty years since the the Bank of England did their bit to save trees and the Pound Note was phased out. Imagine that!

Remember how much of a novelty it was to get the coins? (Mind you, now that I'm living on Job Seeker's Allowance, it's still a novelty!)

A special Mystery Prize goes to who ever can remember which Toblerone loving genius was on the back.
