Brexit, commemorative edition

The UK has unveiled a new, improved, this-time-for-real Brexit commemorative coin (after having to melt down a million of them last fall after minting them with the wrong date). But there are many other monetary ways for people to observe the occasion.

For instance, The Register has a look at a package of goodies being offered by the Conservative Party, or rather at the official description of them, because:

Sadly, you cannot do the drying up with delight on the big day itself. Deliveries of the collection (which also includes a lapel pin, a mug and a magnet that presumably repels an entire political and economic union) won't start until the week commencing 10 February.


If you can't wait that long, there's also a competition which has somehow formed between Remainers and Leavers to get their favorite music to the top of the Apple and Amazon UK download charts by the 31st.

Now I kind of wish I were going to be in Wales this coming Friday. I love visiting mints!
