Using the words "Happy Ramadan," streets in central London were glowing along with other decorations including lanterns, stars and moons.
Nevertheless, the Royal Mint, which is the oldest company and official maker of coins in the United Kingdom, released a gold-minted bullion bar for Britain’s Muslim community that depicts the Kaaba.
