Leading Remainers have vowed never to use or accept the government's new
commemorative Brexit 50p coin.
Approximately three million of the coins are due to begin entering circulation
on Friday as part of efforts to formally mark the UK's departure from the
European Union.
The coins, bearing the words 'peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations'
as well as the Brexit date of January 31, 2020, have sparked a furious
backlash among pro-EU campaigners.
Lord Adonis, a Labour peer who has consistently fought to reverse Brexit,
tweeted: 'I am never using or accepting this coin.'
Meanwhile, Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's former spin doctor, echoed a similar
sentiment as he said he will ask shops for alternatives to the coin if he is
handed one in the future.
Some pro-EU social media users urged people to deface the coins with
Remainer graffiti while others advocated keeping and never spending them in
order to take them permanently out of circulation.
