Lanka unveils World Cup coins

Sri Lanka is due to release a limited issue of coins to commemorate the cricket World Cup to be played in England between May 14-June 20.

The 25,000 coins, each priced at 1,200 rupees ($17), go on sale from Tuesday.

Sri Lanka, which won the trophy in 1996, go in to the latest edition of the tournament hoping to be the only team, after the West Indies, to successfully defend its title.
