50p coins, dated October 31, 2019, are set to be shredded and melted down after the UK’s departure from the EU was delayed by three months.
The special coins were originally designed to be minted in time for Britain leaving the trading bloc this Friday. However, today the Treasury confirmed these coins would be recycled now that the EU has agreed a Brexit extension with the UK Government.European UnionAccording to the Royal Mint website, precious metals, such as 50p coins, are sorted and shredded before being melted down. Metals are then purified and solidified before being turned into new products.The cost of designing and producing the commemorative coins will be met by the Royal Mint out of its own revenues at no cost to the taxpayer.

The coins will carry the words ‘Friendship with all nations’, but will be stamped with a new departure date – currently set to be January 31, 2020.
