"During the middle ages the knights fought
the dragons.The dragons were the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were killed off, just like man kills everything else off. Plus the earth changed after the flood so their habitat wasnt as supportive or friendly to them."

The 1957 2nd issue Gold Sovereign. Obverse: St George slaying the Dragon. Reverse: Portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
As then, just as in 2011, the Royal Mint sent such a design for her prior approval (before such is produced for sale). She even has power of final veto on any potential design.
Now, being the highly educated person she is, she'll have known her history: George was actually a legend, based on an ancient Roman*. Thus the 'Dragon' St. George 'slew' was (despite the common myth that the 'Dragon' was a metaphor for the Muslim enemy in the Crusades) one that originally lived on a well in ancient Libya, and to draw water from such, the people had to feed it either a sheep or a human maiden. Thus St. George is also venerated in Islamic legend.
With emphasis on 'Legend'. 'Metaphor'. PROTIP: Queen Elizabeth is head of the Church of England, and Defender of the Faith. As with the church she is the head of, even she acknowledges that much of the Bible is purely fable and metaphor. Do you seriously think that she'd have approved of such a design, if 'Dragons' actually existed?!
If your answer is the only one possible, Jaguarass, then you've destroyed your own argument. You've certainly justified your own religions' removal from the UK. A definite case of...:
STFU or GTFO.
*- As some scholars of Arthurian legend suggest that King Arthur was based on an ancient Roman (in Britain), called 'Artus'.

"@Felis 3:>: Wait, does that mean that Don Bluth = God? That would probably explain some things."
At first I thought you and Felis >:3 were referring to the laserdisc videogame "Dragon's Lair", until I checked back and realised that you were actually talking about the other classic by Don Bluth, "Land Before Time". But as with St. George, "DL" has become the stuff of legend itself:

It's the most ported game of it's kind (you name the platform, it has a version: from Sinclair Spectrum & PC Engine; Sega CD, Atari Jaguar, MSX; Amiga, ST, PC MS-DOS; PC, Mac, DVD player - right up to today's iPhone/iPad, and even Blu-Ray player.). It's one of only three arcade games preserved in the Smithsonian Institute: "Pong" (the very first commercially produced videogame), "Pac-Man" (the most commercially successful - and social consciousness-entering & pop-culture influencing - game). And "Dragon's Lair": the most technologically - and graphically - industry-changing videogame invented.
PROTIP: Don Bluth has a "Dragon's Lair" feature film all ready to go. All he needs is the financing. 'Tis a shame his last film "Titan AE" wasn't the success it should have been.
