As the Spice Girls and their fans celebrate the 30th anniversary of their first album and the song that launched them into global stardom, "Wannabe," the British Royal Mint has also decided it's time to celebrate "Girl Power."

"It's such a HUGE honor for us to be celebrated by The Royal Mint and follow in the footsteps of some true music icons having our own Spice Girls coin!" Spice Girl Melanie "Scary" Brown wrote on Instagram. "This is such a special year for us - the 30th anniversary of our debut single and album and now this!!!!
