I've just read that there will be a new 12-sided one Pound coin introduced on 28th March. This has been designed to make it more difficult to counterfeit and is described as "the most secure coin in the world" . We will then have till October to spend the current design coin.
So get checking your piggy banks to make sure you're not left with the old ones !!

Supermarket trolleys in mass recall to be adapted, not to mention many thousands of keyrings with a convenient disc of metal.
Nightmare!!

I read that about 50% of the pound coins are counterfeit that why this is being done. Yes it's been a big problem and I can't remember how much it's supposed to have cost the country as a result. The new one will cause quite a lot of initial problems but should hopefully overcome the counterfeiters, at least for a period of time, although it's thought that the new design is just too difficult to try to copy. |
