The Royal Mint has unveiled new designs for updated United Kingdom coinage. Taking a page from the book of Voltron, the coins can be assembled (presumably whenever "ro-beasts" are threatening galactic peace) to form The Shield of the Royal Arms.

It's all executed in a thoughtfully considered assortment of colors, shapes, and sizes for quick identification. Pretty slick.

I heard the reverse sides are portraits of notorious soccer hooligans.
