I still prefer the old £1 note. It’s seemed to have greater buying value than the coins. I never used to break into a £1 note from my purse if I had a 10/- to use up first. You felt quite poor when the green notes had to be used…aye, those were the days Christopher…..🙂

@allan3737 3 жыл бұрын

Oh the nostalgia!!! I am in agreement with you Christopher, why not do commemoratives in the new pounds like they used to? Give us collectors something else to look out for being my principal motivation but would provide another vehicle with which to highlight more aspects of this country and it’s peoples.....opportunity missed! 🤷‍♂️

hey christopher! love your videos, they’re informative and also fun to watch! i’m from the isle of man 🇮🇲 so as soon as i saw “hill” in the middle of your coins, i knew what it would be. i got really excited when you pulled out the tynwald hill coin! and loved that it was your star find :) this video is a year old, so you probably know this already but that coin is of tynwald hill in st john’s, isle of man. the round pound coin is still in circulation here! they’re far less common than the newer ones obviously, but they’re definitely still knocking about! i love that particular design. i don’t see it often but i found one in my change recently and was very happy, so i kept it :)

As an auto electrician I am always removing trim, seats, carpets etc. and find quite a lot of old pound coins, I just chuck them in a celebrations tin.I must have about 150 or so,most of them green😊. I have used them for egr blanking on various vehicles and even machined a couple on my lathe to make a pair of stepped spacers, they were the perfect width.

Was gutted that my mum used them one day to pay for pizza cause she forgot to get cash out... never forgave her for that lol. They were really shiny back then too

Such a nostalgic hunt. I collected one of every design for my collection. Some designs were minted more than once but just one of each was enough for me. I have a number from The Isle of Man, my favourite being the one with the chapel on it. I also have a number of designs from Gibraltar, my favourite being St George and the dragon. I have one from the Channel Isles and the Falkland Isles too. My favourite is an extremely rare milled but unstuck round pound which has an edge inscription but is blank on both sides. I have the last round pound too 😁

The withdrawal of the old pound coins was a bit of a bodge job, if I remember correctly. Hundreds of millions of old pound coins have avoided the Royal Mint crucible, so its not surprising that you managed to get a hundred of them: good relations with the bank pay off. Round pounds were badly out of date and did desperately need replacing, due to the fakes, but I still miss them all the same. One of my favourites is the 2006 Egyptian Bridge design and the 3 lions design.

I can’t believe anyone would pay more than £1 for any of them. The bridges used to turn up in change quite often. The daffodils were probably the most common flower I used to see (maybe it was just the one that stuck in my head more) and as for the cities I don’t think I ever saw the Cardiff but maybe it depends on where you live a bit as well.
