Do you use What3Words as a geo-location tool?
If so, you will be interested to know that a What3Words code appears on a new 50p coin issued by the Royal Mint. The new coin celebrates the life of Alan Turing, the 'father of computing', and famous for his codebreaking during the Second World war.

The reverse side of the coin features a representation of the Bombe machine used during the War. But it also includes a What3Words address which pinpoints the location of Cambridge University where Turing was based.

The what3words system has divided the globe into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and given each one a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. This means that people can accurately and easily communicate their exact location.
The design also features his famous quote 'Only a foretaste of what is to come' whilst the text 'CDANDMD' refers to the coin's designers
