Nope neither did i! There'll be a lot of stuff to change around. Remember when the 2 pound came in seemed to take ages for everywhere to accept them.

Apparently 1 in 30 of the round £ coins are fake. The round ones fall from use next Autumn.

The new ones have been made like that, so you can get them out of a Scotsman's hand, using a spanner
