Interesting timing from the Royal Mint.
Orwell’s 'Big Brother' £2 coin will be released on 15 January, with a Bitcoin vs. Gold piece also coming out this month.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England has just announced plans to begin the design phase of a digital pound CBDC.

Even stranger, when I contacted the designer of the 'Big Brother is Watching You' coin for comment, the Royal Mint declined on their behalf.
What’s going on?
