<p>A coin celebrating the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton has gone into production.</p>
<p>The medal created by Birmingham Mint has no monetary value but is designed to be a souvenir of the ceremony on April 29.</p>
<p>The medal features a picture of the engaged couple and on its reverse is the date of their marriage and the initials C and W.</p>
<p>Birmingham, which was established in 1794 and believes it is the world&#8217;s oldest independent mint, is selling the medals for £5 but is offering them to schools and charities for just £3.</p>
<p>Some 23,000 schools around Britain have already received the offer and it is hoped some will buy discounted medals and sell them on as a way of fundraising.</p>
<p>Product manager Phil Majevadia said: &#8220;With the country in the doldrums and a harsh economic climate, the Royal Wedding will lift everyone.</p>
<p>&#8220;We just wanted to add to the good-feel factor around the wedding and help to give everyone a lift.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pressing of the coins, which are made of base metal brass alloy, began on Saturday.</p>
<p>Schools and charities can order the coins at the www.birmingham-mint.com website.</p>
