Just in time for A50
https://www.thenewpoundcoin.com
Bold new design – it also features a new design that shows the English rose, the Welsh leek, the Scottish thistle and the Northern Irish shamrock emerging from one stem within a royal coronet. This was created by David Pearce who won a public design competition at the age of 15. I like it. |

Its a coin, for spending nothing more nothing less. What ever on it means nothing to me.

Wow - that's beautiful and designed by a fifteen year old. How wonderful to make your mark on something special like that at such a young age. Very talented - captures the spirit of the UK perfectly.

It would also be fractured down the middle from top to bottom. |

I don't usually disagree, but if it really captured the spirit of the UK, it would have a moat with an up-drawn drawbridge, a twisted head looking behind, and a mound of sand with a torso sticking out vertically.

Its lovely design, showing unity amongst the 4 nations and dare I say its hopeful too, something we can never get enough of right now!

And it'd be bent.
Any good taste parking meter/self service checkout/ticket machine would spit it out with vigour! He'd be perfect for the 45p coin though. |

Modern coin acceptors should be easy to upgrade anyway, it's all done in software. |

For good reason, as the old pound coin has been massively counterfeited.

It is believed about 40% of coin machines will need to have the mechanism physically removed and updated, the costs to update coin machines for the new £1 coin are estimated at £100m.
And with an estimated £45m of counterfeit pound coins in circulation, it's a no brainer. The problem isn't going to make itself go away. |
