If you want to cash in on the Royal Wedding madness, now, you actually can. Britain's Royal Mint just released a coin with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's faces engraved on them.
That's right, you can now own your very own commemorative Harry and Meghan royal wedding coin. The coin features one of our favorite photos of the prince and royal-to-be looking lovingly into each others eyes after announcing their engagement in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace. And the likeness are pretty accurate (although Harry's hand placement is off (opens in new tab)). Of course, the Queen made her own appearance on the backside of the coin.
The silver coin (opens in new tab) itself is only worth £5 ($6.80), but it's not meant to be spent—and you probably wouldn't want to considering it'll cost £13 ($17.71) to get it from The Royal Mint's website (opens in new tab). If you were looking for a royal wedding keepsake, there are two other proof coins (opens in new tab) available for purchase in silver and gold that cost £82 ($112.27).
It's royal tradition to receive a commemorative coin for milestone events: Prince William and Kate Middleton had their own coin for their wedding back in 2011 (opens in new tab), and Prince George (opens in new tab) and Princess Charlotte (opens in new tab) had coins minted for them when they were first born. So, we can expect a Prince Louis (opens in new tab) coin will be on its way shortly after the royal wedding!
