“After a few drinks and several days, I was convinced it would be a fantastic idea to get them pressed in China.”
The talented designer revealed they had contacted Mr Salmond about the coin, “I got a letter back from him [Alex Salmond] saying that he loved it and asked if we could submit a ‘lot’ of “official” smackeroonies to the SNP charity auction with a letter of authenticity signed by him.
“I was really quite taken aback by the response.”
The novelty coin is up for sale on Ebay for £6.50.
