You know how there are different designs on the "tails" side of UK coins? 

They celebrate all kinds of different things, but did you know that in 2008 a set was made with a sort of jigsaw of a shield on it?

My Dad pointed it out to us and my oldest son collected a set. We decided that instead of just sitting in a box somewhere they should be on display. 

This is how I did it:

I used a 6" (15cm) square box frame

A 6" (15cm) square of fairly think card (so it can take the weight of the coins) 

Strong glue (I used a glue gun)

A set of coins with the shield design

Arrange the coins like this:

Be careful to line them all up carefully and make sure they are the right way up. (I glued the 5p in the middle upside down - twice!)

When you are happy, glue them onto the card. In my first attempt I used glue dots and in the morning everything except the 5p and 1p had fallen off, so use a good strong glue.

Once the glue is dry, pop the card into the frame and you're done!
