The Last Round Pound United Kingdom £1 2016

[Davethepitch]

Does anyone know what the mintage figures are for this new not to be released £1 coin and is it worth collecting another for my grandchildren as a possible little investment.

Thanks Dave

Unlimited. Buy so they have one but not as investment. Dan

I assume from what you say, Dave, that this last old issue £1 coin, dated 2016, will not be issed for general circulation?

[Danz]

Just for collectors ,none for circulation.

Don't consider the investment angle. Back in the 1960s coin dealers were pushing Churchill Crowns as investments, and today you still can't give them away. Indeed, when you consider that I used to earn £1-10/- for working 8 hours at J Lyons, washing up on a Saturday, five shillings was a fair sum to pay at face value for a coin. Given that you might be able to sell one now for 25p, i.e. today's equivalent face value, if you are lucky, the erosion of value has been huge. It will be no different for this coin. Keep one if you like it, or collect them, but forget investment.

Royal Mint sell them, I actually bought 1 because it is the best design we have had on a £1

Thanks for the link. I think I'll get one of these too. It'll be a nice keepsake in years to come.
