This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament

Rejected petition Stop the Commemorative 0.50p Coin for Leaving the EU.

The idea to have 50p Commemorative Coin for leaving the EU, is an insensitive idea given that 48% of the people who voted and an increasing number of people in the United Kingdom do not support Brexit and would not want to commemorate it. This idea rubs salt into a very open wound.

More details

The 50p Commemorative Coin for leaving the European Union was announced as part of Budget on the 29.10.18.
