I think that's why they have done it Inez, they said on news this morning that about 40% of the pound coins in circulation are fakes & these are harder to copy

The vending machines I saw the other day you text a number and it dispensed and deducts the cost from your phone bill would think most will go that way and contact less soon anyway

I like the new coin but got me thinking how often I actually use cash at all most places accept cards even for small value sales

i think we get to a point where we dont need money it be done by swipe cards
