The existing pound will be withdrawn and no longer will be legal tender in October 2017. Most supermarkets have made the changes accommodate the new 12 sided coin. The new coin has a number of features that make it much more difficult to counterfeit.
12-sided – its
distinctive shape makes it instantly recognisable, even by touch.
Bimetallic – it is made
of two metals. The outer ring is gold coloured (nickel-brass) and the inner
ring is silver coloured (nickel-plated alloy).
Latent image – it has an image like a hologram that changes from a ‘£’ symbol to the
number '1' when the coin is seen from different angles.
Micro-lettering – it has very small lettering on the lower inside rim on both sides
of the coin. One pound on the obverse “heads” side and the year of production
on the reverse “tails” side, for example 2016 or 2017.
Milled edges – it has grooves on alternate sides.
Over the last 12 years as
a company we have made many millions of £1 substitute coins, designed for
use in Supermarket trolleys and lockers.
This really simple but
ingenious promotional gift has been a hit with supermarkets, corporate
companies, schools and universities, lesiure organisations throughout the UK
and Europe.
We own the registered
Trade mark for the product “Pound for life Trolley Token
® Key Ring" .

Beautifully crafted in
nickel, stamped with your individual design, filled with pantone matched
enamels, or you may choose full screen print if needed to capture the exact
detail for the client’s requirements.
Simply detach your
reusable token from your key ring, insert your trolley token in your
trolley/locker, and after use just pop back on your key ring ready for your
next time.
Supermarket approved. Used
in millions of lockers, Ideal for when you don't have a pound coin when you
need one.
Available in any world
currency.
---------
Many leisure
organisations, and locker owners have been concerned over the unnecessary cost
to replace lockers to accommodate the new 12 sided coins.
The good news they need
not to be worried, as we will continue to make the existing round pound coin
and will do so for many years to come.
Will the existing £1 round
pound fit new Supermarket Trolleys?
Yes as the new 12 sided
coins are slightly larger so it’s the supermakets that have swallow the cost
for the change over of their trolley’s, so the existing round coins will fit
even easier than before.
