Britain’s new one pound coin gets rolled out today

The new one pound coin becomes available from today - but are we equipped and ready for the change?

We put the new one pound coin to the test against the following:

  • Parking machine

  • Shopping trolley

  • Train ticket machine

  • GMB vending machine

The new one pound coin will be the most secure coin in the world - it's 12 sided so distinctive; it's made of two metals; it has a hologram image; micro lettering; milled edges; hidden security feature.

The old one pound coin will no longer be legal tender from 15th October 2017 - so time is slowly running out to spend your old coins.

Watch the full discussion above.
