As news spread of a new 12 sided one pound coin, that is set to be introduced into the UK currency, we have to say we started getting a little bit excited here at 123Print HQ.

In fact, we got ourselves so excited that we did a little research. After all, it’s not everyday a new coin gets introduced and we were amazed to find out so many facts about this little coin.

Described as a ‘giant leap into the future’ we couldn’t help ourselves but look into the past of the pound coin and look at its evolution over the years, into the new 12 sided version set to be released in 2017.

Are you excited for the new pound coin? Do you think it will deter counterfeiting? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
