Rejected petition Abandon the plan to issue a 50p coming to “celebrate” leaving the EU.

As about half the population do not wish to leave the EU it is insensitive and inflammatory to issue a 50p coin to “celebrate” leaving the EU. It is also a complete waste of money designing and producing such a coin. Please abandon such plans.
