A screenshot of a tweet by the official Royal Mint of the UK (@RoyalMintUK on Twitter) reading "You've heard of elf on the shelf. Now get ready for..." above a picture of the new British penny with an image of King Charles' head.ALT
A reply to the above tweet reading "Git on a bit?"ALT
Another reply to the above tweet reading "Not my king on a shilling?"ALT
Another reply reading "Brother of a child sex offender on legal tender?"ALT
Another reply reading: "Fash on the cash?"ALT
Another reply reading "Unelected head of state on coinage that is out of date"ALT

I’d like to formally thank the people of the UK and Ireland today for their rhyming prowess and forcing the Royal Mint to turn off replies to this tweet in RECORD time lmfao

And last but not least, the pièce de resistance that inspired about 90% of the hidden replies:

A quote retweet of the Royal Mint's original tweet from Derec Thompson reading "The Irish word for pound is pùnt and that is why you should have some diversity in your marketing teams."ALT

For anyone wondering, it was in fact meant to be “sovereign on a sovereign” 🤦

We know what it was meant to be, and what it really is.

Derec Thompson is king (definitely more so than the tosser depicted).

The royals being parasites upon the lifeblood of the nation, they steal from us. So maybe he’s the cutpurse on the obverse
