The guy who designed the new UK coinage. As I look at the images, I keep wondering what the tactile feel of these things must be like. When I think of American coins, what comes to mind are how they feel in my fingers as I’m rummaging in my pocket. These really cleverly designed UK coins have a lot of negative space next to a lot of detail (observe the coin for two pence). And then the five pence coin is so dense with detail. This makes them easy to identify to the hand when in your pocket. I am trying to get a sense of how it would feel to come across one as you rummage blindly in your couch. (via Kottke)
