New coinage competition entries

I understand from the Englishman that there is a competition running to redesign some of our coinage:

The redesign of coins was announced yesterday, prompting fresh speculation that the Government has ruled out joining the euro for the foreseeable future.

An open competition to find new designs for the reverse of the 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p coin is to be held by the Royal Mint.
The designs are to be changed better to "reflect modern Britain, and will need final approval by Gordon Brown, the Chancellor.

This is an excellent idea. I mean, what's the point of hanging on to old fashioned ideas and all that.

So, here are a couple of my designs which I am sure will stand a good chance of success.

Representing the commitment to a multicultural society of HM government

Representing HM treasury - 5 for me, 5 for you
