Roald Dahl commemorative coin rejected by Royal Mint over author's antisemitic views

A subcommittee also said the novelist was 'not regarded as an author of the highest reputation'

Plans to commemorate Roald Dahl with a special edition coin were scrapped over concerns about the children's author's perceived antisemetic views.

Royal Mint decided to drop proposals to mark the centenary of Dahl's birth during subcommittee meeting held in 2014, also citing that he was “not regarded as an author of the highest reputation”.

The company instead decided to commission coins celebrating the lives of William Shakespeare and Beatrix Potter.
