LONDON — A commemorative coin featuring the image of an eye and the inscription 'Big Brother is watching you' is being released to pay tribute to 'Nineteen Eighty-four' author George Orwell and mark his death 75 years ago.
The 2-pound ($2.40) coin depicts what appears to be an eye but is a camera lens, and the coin's edge is inscribed with another quote from Orwell's dystopian novel: 'There was truth and there was untruth.'
