NEW £1 POUND COIN to launch

[69er]

JUST WHEN THOSE WHO KEEP AHEAD OF ''CHANGE'' THOUGHT THEY HAD THEIR MECHS READY TO ACCEPT THE LATEST MAGNETIC 10p & 5p COINS >>>>

THE TREASURY HAVE ANNOUNCED A NEW " FRAUD PROOF " (Yeah ? ) £1 COIN

based on the shape of the old 12 sided pre decimal 3d coin and about same size but dual metal like the £2 coin

just cant leave things alone .............. now we face more convertion expense

i think its yet another ploy to get us to still join and financially support the failing EURO (so similar coin)

just posted this on jamma+ also so thought i would share it here too !!!!!!!!

The Telegraph:-

A source said that the new coin, which will be roughly the same size as the current £1, will still fit in supermarket trolleys, parking meters and vending machines.

Do we think this means it will or will not work in Arcade coin Mechs?

Would they be thrown in as the same category as vending machines where coin mech's are concerned???

you should have just bid just a few more quid on my ebay police trainer last week i had already updated the coin mech to the new 2011 10p coin ............. you could have popped round and had it done for the new 2014 £1 later on too
