Why was coin not better thought out, asks MHK

Wednesday, 13 February 2019 06:37

Questions about "Year of our Island" coin continue

A Douglas MHK wants to know why plans for a commemorative coin got as far as they did before they were then scrapped.

The five pound coin was mooted as a way of celebrating the "Year of Our Island", 2018.

However, quite a long way into the process, it was judged that demand would not justify the coin being produced, resulting in the idea being dropped.

Clare Bettison wants to know why more thought wasn't put into the idea before any actually work was done.
