WHEN it comes to celebrating Brexit day, as with any UK milestone, making a new coin is a top priority for the UK Government.
Inevitably, what follows is the freshly inspired social media response, where the coin gets redesigned to better showcase the celebration for what it is.
In this case, the Brexit 50p coin has seen more than a few alterations in attempt to resolve people's pressing concerns.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
