Britain will leave the EU at 11pm on Friday - 1,317 days after the vote for Brexit.
And to celebrate, three million commemorative 50p coins will enter circulation across the country.
Bearing the messages 'peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations' and '31 January 2020', they will finally see the light of day after a million with the old date had to be melted down.
But it's fair to say these little tokens have not been met with joy by everyone in the United Kingdom.
Their release has prompted a furore from (mostly) Remainers on Twitter whose reactions have ranged from mockery to fury - with some even threatening to boycott them.
Tony Blair's former spin doctor and arch-Europhile Alastair Campbell said: "I for one shall be asking shopkeepers for ‘two 20p pieces and a 10’".
He said the coin claims "Brexit is about ‘peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations’ given it puts all three at risk."
Brexit Party chairman Richard Tice joked Mr Campbell was "a bit grumpy today". But he wasn't the only one.
Labour peer and former minister Andrew Adonis joined the boycott, saying: "I am never using or accepting this coin."
Some Twitter users discussed donating the coin to EU citizens' charity the3million - which is still pushing for EU citizens to be given a document proving their right to stay in the EU.
Twitter user @nickreeves9876 said: "Remainers, please collect all the Brexit 50p coins and use them to contribute to Rejoin campaigns.
"It would be especially good to see them used to contribute to a campaign to prosecute and jail the worst of the Brexit liars, cheats, crooks, charlatans and traitors."
But while raising money for the cause, that strategy would also create a little problem for the Remainers.
It would see the coin to re-enter circulation when it was put in the bank.
So Twitter user @Myfathersson2 had a different idea. "We need to hang onto every one we receive," he said. "Bury them in the garden, whatever it takes, don’t spend them, dont bank them, take them out of circulation as soon as possible."
Edwin Hayward, meanwhile, called for a compromise.
"If you get a Brexit 50p, don't give it to charity! It will only recirculate," the Twitter user wrote.
"Instead, drop a pound in the collection tin for every 50p you find, then dispose of the 50p permanently (landfill, bury it, over the side of a ship, in a drawer etc.) so that it's *gone*."
Some have suggested reviving the proud tradition of defacing coins in protest - citing one which had the words 'Votes for Women' stamped across Edward VII's face.
"Here's the answer," said Twitter user @PlanetZuma. "Support the Great British Metal Punch industry, use your imagination and then use your #Brexit50p at the Supermarket self-service payment slot to get your message out there."
Twitter user @devonlass had a similar idea - pulling out a permanent marker to write a heart sign and the letters 'EU'.
Others pointed out a similar coin produced about the 1973 commemorative coin when the UK joined the Common Market.
Its design, popularised by children's story The Queen's Nose, showed nine hands joined in a circle.
Actor and writer David Schneider suggested the message of 'friendship' while cutting off ties with the EU was like something out of George Orwell's novel 1984.
But for all those angered by the coin, there were a good few who saw the funny side.
Several compared it to cheesy 'live, laugh, love' signs sold to brighten up people's homes.
Others compared Chancellor Sajid Javid's pose to Gollum coveting the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings.
Sooz Kempner summed up the fall of the pound since the Brexit vote nice and bluntly, tweeting: "Love the new 30p coin!"
Comedian David Baddiel added: "Can you actually pay for things which the Brexit 50p coin? Or will it be worthless, except for its symbolic value? Like the thing it's commemorating?"
And one Twitter user produced this, which frankly, we just find frightening.
Without a hint of irony, the coins are being produced just as Remainer Lord Heseltine urged the government not to "rub our noses in it by celebrating our defeat".
"I think it is unwise of the Government, whilst talking about unifying the country," he said.
Government buildings in Whitehall will be lit up in red, white and blue to celebrate Brexit on Friday night, while Parliament Square and Pall Mall will be festooned with British flags.
A light display, featuring a countdown clock, is also planned for Downing Street, where Boris Johnson will give a live televised address to the nation at 10pm.
We will then have 11 months to get a UK-EU trade deal, or risk crashing out without one on 1 January 2021.
