Considering there are an estimated 30 million (£30,000,000) fake £1 coins that are in circulation at the moment something had to be done to take them out of circulation.

two unrelated connections here.
1/it has the same amount of sides as the 12 stars on the eu flag.
2/we now have two [2] coins with silver middles,the same as the euro coins..
is the government trying to hint as to whats coming in the future.

New government idea, there used to be two sides to everything...now there will be twelve!!
I'd like to agree with you but then we would both be wrong!!

Yes I have some in my wallet because I regularly go to the eurozone. I also have UAE dirhams. When I go to foreign countries I use foreign money. When I'm in Britain I use British money. Simples.

Is the new coin the same diameter and weight as the old £1 coin, if it is would coin machines have to be adapted?
