  ROYAL WEDDING DATE CHANGE AFFECTS COINS
  

  >From a CNN article: "Souvenir hunters are finally starting to
  snap up memorabilia bearing the original date of Prince Charles's
  wedding after its last-minute postponement because of the funeral
  of Pope John Paul II.
  

  Sales had been slow after the wedding was announced in
  February, reflecting wide public apathy over the heir to the
  British throne's marriage to his longtime lover Camilla Parker
  Bowles.
  

  But the decision to move back the wedding, originally due to
  take place on Friday April 8, by a day to allow the Charles to
  pay his respects at the Vatican has transformed the market."
  

  "In a hundred years the story of this wedding will be in the date",
  Hugh Gibson of china producers Royal Crown Derby told the
  Times newspaper on Tuesday."
  

  "The Royal Mint said the process of changing the date on the
  thousands of coins earmarked for distribution was under way.
  

  "There is no problem. We are making the date change", a
  spokeswoman said."

  [We've had discussions in the past about date changes for
  numismatic items (and auction sales). Perhaps some wrong-
  dated coins or medals will find their way out of the Royal Mint.
