For all your endeavors I wish each one of you the confidence of whoever thought that minting Brexit coins with a date on them would be a good idea. https://t.co/LIgLl5RL6K

I wonder if there's someone in the depths of the Royal Mint furiously melting down millions of Brexit 50p coins before anyone gets wind of the mountain of ineptitude they represent?

£80m non existent ferries
£100m 31/10/19 campaign
£11.5m brexit 50p
£200k Queens speech

£191.7m wasted tax payers money but we HAD to have austerity because there wasnt any money.

Has anyone got their hands on one of those Oct 31st 50p coins? Could be worth a bit more than that soon. https://t.co/3BfRQEvvsp

Where can I get my commemorative 50p testament to failure? Will 'spoons be giving them out as change?

For Brexiters, however, all is not lost.

Marvellous news! The Brexit Party Ltd. has created a series of commemorative coins. Available in milk or dark. The perfect stocking filler or handy snack. pic.twitter.com/GoJBXgQGC6

But they’d better be good, or Father Brexmas might bring them a customs union.
