Are British coins minted in coin rotation?
No, not any longer. The last British coins minted in coin rotation were the Victorian silver coins of 1887. Notably, the 1887 Halfcrown, Florin, Shilling, Sixpence, Threepence and the Maundy coins. Prior to that, British coins were first regularly struck in rotation from about 1660. Referring only to British coins, "coin rotation" or "die axis" is the striking of a coin so that the obverse and reverse are 180 degrees out of alignment. This was once a good way to determine if the coin was genuine since forgers rarely bothered with coin rotation, or only got it partly right, rotating the coin at something other than 180 degrees. These days, forgers are a little more careful.
