New British Coins

I got the funniest coin in my change the other day (it's a 5p piece): it looks almost as if it had been stamped wrong, because the design doesn't fit properly (its cut off all around). But that's the intention - it seems its part of an entire set that they're bringing out this year; the pound coin has the full royal arms on it, and then the rest of the coins each have a portion, arranged like so

I think its super cool - the coins look very interesting and distinctive, so I'll definitely be looking out for others in change.
