Royal birthday babies to get free lucky coin
BABIES born on the same day as the royal baby, which is due this month, will have a “lucky” silver penny from the Royal Mint
A total of 2,013 coins, which will come in a pink or blue pouch, have been made featuring the Royal Arms and the year 2013.
The Royal Mint’s Shane Bissett said the birth will be joyous for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and other new parents.
“Hence why we wanted to extend this historical moment to them,” he said.
Parents need to apply online on Facebook.com/theroyalmint within 60 days of the birth.
