Old pound coin will be taken out of circulation by October, they must be spent, deposited or exchanged by then or its just a shiny piece of metal.

The previous coin was widely counterfeited, it was quoted as 3% of them fake, but the real number was probably much larger.

Rumor has it will have a new form of RFID in each coin, based on frequency reflection.
