I haven't been outside today, but I suppose they'll turn up in my change the way £5 notes do.

the ones we have now are still legal tender until October.

I knew it was today but haven't been out or encountered one yet.

What saddens me is that it is shaped like the old threepenny bit and is worth about the same!

Everywhere I have gone today, I have asked, without result.
I'll try again tomorrow.

It's recommended if you regularly use vending machines, parking machines, trolleys etc that require coins to keep some of each type for a while until the machines are all adapted successfully.

I remembered; not overly fussed.

Now there's a thought. I've a couple of those coin things on the keyring in order to use a supermarket trolley when the untrusting supermarket wants to imply I'll steal their trolley. I guess it'll mean they are now obsolete unless they change the trolley slots to accept both sizes.

I have a couple of those brass, spring-loaded tubes, that you can slide pound coins into..... Very useful to leave in the cup-holder of the car, and I am wondering if these new coins will fit.

Does anyone know if they are the same diameter as the "old" coin ?

i think they are,
but won't fit into trolleys, at least not yet.
