Mint at the End of its Tether

With the country being run, if run is the word I want, by people who would be happy to provide change for a nine-pound note all in nine-shilling bits, it is only to be expected that the Royal Mint should have given up the cumbersome and outdated practice of counting, which has been causing such unwarranted inconvenience to the Trumpster and his hydrophobic head-tribble. A coin issued to celebrate the demise of a notorious Socialist features a topper-clad Invisible Man and a tripod with four legs, apparently because the designer had no interest in reading the works he had been hired to evoke and relied on book covers and film posters. A spokesbeing defended the coin by stating that the coin had been issued and, in case the author's shade still felt insufficiently insulted, conflated the title of one of his best books with that of the most recent Hollywood molestation.
