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” 🤦

Ach no, give it to the Irish, they win

i can’t get over how dumb this was, it’s called a sovereign in the first place because of the monarch face on it

I honestly didn’t know who that guy was supposed to be until I read the replies
