It would also be fractured down the middle from top to bottom.
Actually the right side would need to be ever so slightly bigger

Very nice too, sadly business and the government will be spending shed loads of money updating machines to be able to take it.
It is to do with counterfeiting.


"The Treasury has admitted they believe there are almost 50 million fake £1 coins in the nation's pockets. Experts now believe that almost one in every thirty pound coins is a fake with around half of these counterfeit coins good enough to fool vending machine and automated tills."

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.

Twisted Head cool name for a band but see below.

Maybe they can put an mini portrait of Nick Clegg on one side for the 48%?
Yep with a twisted head

Okay Victor

If they ever remake One Foot in the Grave you should audition for it.
Nah trevgo is far to downbeat.

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.
Think of all the new jobs created

Far what "to downbeat"? Or do you mean "too"?

As I keep saying - enjoy your little period of smirking and sneering. It's a window that will be closing shortly.

No I don't mean too which means 'as well' I mean you are far to downbeat.

It isn't as well as something you're just downbeat

I could have said 'you're so downbeat too' but I didn't it wasn't a 'as well as something else' situation
