I think you mean the last 'legally' minted pound coin.

Very true they reckon 1 in 30 are fake.
I didn't think you made that many?

Saw about this on telly new's ,the new one will be two colours like the 2 pound coin, and 12 sided like the old three penny bit's ,it's suppose to make it harder to copy.

the new pound contains some kind of electronic Gizmo, so fakes will be detected.
