01:08 - The way I design the coins for the Royal Mint

01:15 is I start with a blank template

01:17 of the 50 pence coin shape.

01:19 'Cause whatever I design,

01:20 it has to fit nicely into the shape of the coin.

01:23 So I start with a blank coin

01:25 and then I start adding the text

01:26 'cause I know that needs to go in there

01:27 and what it needs to be.

01:29 And then the dinosaur and the skeleton,

01:31 it all needs to fit very carefully and closely together.

01:34 It can take a long time to make small tweaks

01:36 to get them to fit comfortably

01:38 'cause you want too many complicated overlaps.

01:41 But after many hours of work,

01:43 you come up with a design that hopefully

01:46 will draw them into Happywood.
