Royal Mint Makes John Lennon £5 Coin
But it will set you back £44.99...
The former Beatle won the public vote for the next "Great Briton" to be immortalised on a coin after 27,874 people (92%) nominated him.
William Shakespeare, Sir Winston Churchill, Charles Darwin and Florence Nightingale are already part of the series.
Only 5,000 are being released in what would have been the singer's 70th year plus a solid gold one which will be presented to his estate.
Dave Knight, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: "It's entirely fitting that John Lennon has been chosen by the public in what would have been his seventieth year.
"The massive proportion of the vote he received shows clearly just how much his untimely death still resonates with the nation.
"He ranks alongside, and even ahead of, some of the greatest names in history and the Royal Mint is proud to commemorate a genuine British legend."
