The Royal Mint has been producing visors ever since and have managed to produce 100,000 of the essential pieces of equipment each week. A welcome move after the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) stated that a third of physicians working in high-risk settings have reported running short of long-sleeved gowns or full-face visors. In addition to the expected delays caused by lockdown, which initially called for all none vital workers to stay at home, the Royal Mint also became part of the national effort to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the NHS. However, delays were all in the name of a good cause. Frustrations were made worse by the fact that collectors, who had been encouraged to buy the coins as a set, had received their Megalosaurus and Iguanodon coins but were still waiting for their Hylaeosaurus 50p a month after they had expected it. The Dinosauria set was due to complete, with the release of the third and final coin, in April. Some collectors were dismayed when earlier this year the Hylaeosaurus coin was delayed by the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The coin is the final 50p piece in the three-coin Dinosauria series. Today, the Royal Mint released their highly anticipated Hylaeosaurus 50p coin.
