New £1 coin
Who's old enough to remember the new pound coin look-alike, the threepenny bit? I've still got some in a jar somewhere about the house.

I don't have a threepenny bit, but I have pennies, ha'pennies, sixpences and a shilling. I have a ha'penny from 1915 and a penny from 1917, so they're now officially antiques. The pound coin was the only new coin I actually liked, so I'm interested in what the replacement is like. Haven't seen one yet.

Compatability
Do you think the 13 sided new pound coin is so machines (toll booths, parking meters and the like) will accept it without having to be changed ?
If not, there's an awful lot of one armed bandits, vending machines, etc that are going to have to be changed . . . .

Nope. There was a thing on the news about it. Every single vending machine, one-arm-bandit, shopping trolley, gym locker etc. will have to be changed at a cost of millions. I think they mentioned 'hundreds of millions', but I may not have heard/remembered correctly.
