            Completely irrelevant for something that I only care about within the UK (and even then it's for strategy reasons more than anything else).

              What. Coining it isn't enough? Darn. I wish I'd know back in those dark days of the PCG as was.

                  And the first one is for the USA. Does the UK have something in place regarding this starting 1/1/2021?

                    Existing EU community marks will get copied over to UK system, US marks always separate.
