Two weeks ago I tried to pay for coffee in a café in Coniston with the new pound coins. The girl at the till heard our Scottish accents and having not seen the new coins, asked if they were Scottish! She accepted them reluctantly.

Most people are not that familiar with them yet. From what I've heard there's fakes circulating of the new £5 note too Russ

Just read an article about this online. Its not a fake but a miss strike during production. So far they have no idea how many have been made but they are already saying that they could be valuable dependent upon this.
The problem appears to be because it is a very complex pressing, especially the hologram, and this hasn't come out correctly. With massive numbers being produced the mint suggest that the odd miss strike is inevitable so check your pockets. if there's one or two they will be worth a fortune it thousands still a few quid. |

I thought most people tended to use tokens for the trolleys, rather than £1 coins?

Mis strike
I have 6 of the new ones and a couple are mis-struck. I think this is more common than we are led to believe.
Looking on ebay someone is trying to sell a 'rare' new one pound coin for £4000. Why? Well because it has 2016 on it instead of 2017. All my 6 are dated 2016 . . . . . I'm rich!! Rich I tell ya!
