and a 50p is so shaped so you can get it out of a Yorkshireman's hand with a spanner ;) 

Actually you can't. The 20p and 50p coins have seven curved sides and seven corners, but they have a constant diameter, so a spanner will just spin round and round. They were designed that way to work in slot machines.

As I understand it, the Decimal  Currency Board handed the problem of the 50pence design to the only engineer who was a member, Hugh (HG) Conway, who was a director of Hawker Siddeley and Rolls Royce,  then working on the development of Concord. He passed the problem to his brilliant team to resolve and it ended up with a Concord development number. It is said that the French ended up paying half the cost.
