A Freedom of Information request placed by the Daily Mail has revealed that in 2016 the Royal Mint was considering honouring children\u2019s author Enid Blyton with a commemorative 50 pence coin, but that officials withdrew the author from consideration because "she [Blyton] is known to have been a racist, sexist, homophobe and not a very well-regarded writer".
