BBC Local LiveIf you're a numismatist (that's a coin and currency collector to you and me) you'll be excited about the arrival of the new £1 coin.
Image source, PAIt comes into circulation this month, signalling the beginning of the end for the round pound, which will be completely phased out by 15 October.
Here's what you need to know at a glance:
- What will the new £1 coin look like?
Well, like the picture above! It's about the the same size as the old one but has 12 edges and is gold and silver. It also features a hologram.
- Why the change to our change?
The new design is meant to be harder for criminals to fake and is billed as the "most secure coin in the world".
- What do I need to do?
Shoppers can use both old and new coins from 28 March. They have until 15 October to spend old £1 coins or return them to the bank.
- What about vending machines and parking meters?
Vending machines, slot machines, parking meters and toilet turnstiles will all have to be adapted to accept the new coins and reject old ones.
- Are £1 coins worth collecting?
Old £1 coins could become collectible when they cease to become legal tender, according to experts.
