    Spend yer round pounds before October 15th 2017

    Doomed, I tell ye, doomed.

    This is when the current £1 coin ceases to be legal tender this year - Wales Online

      Obviously you didn't read the article

      A new 12-sided pound coin comes into circulation in six weeks time in a bid to beat the forgers.
      March 28 - new coin comes into circulation
      October 15 - shops are told not to accept old £1 coins or distribute them in change
      After October 15 - for a limited period, banks and post offices will still allow customers to deposit old £1 coins into their bank account

            Is this a way to try to get the economy going?

              The old heavier coins would make taking a wheel barrow full to Tescos to buy a loaf of bread too difficult. So yes.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                It'll kickstart the coin mech economy, that's for sure.

                Vending machines, fruit machines, shopping trolley locks, etc.

                  Maybe supermarkets will simply sell trolley tokens for £1.

                    You mean like the ones you can already get for less than half that?

                    Mind you, not knowing that, I guess you're lucky enough not to be dragged around the supermarket with the enemy at weekend.
