Amazingly I got my first new pound coin from Poundland.

It's got a 2016 date.

Got some evidence to back up that claim? None of my numismatist friends are aware of any circulating.

Hands up if anyone else can claim that some of their best friends are numismatists...

My bank card is kept with my mobile phone in the same holder. Never had any trouble using it.

My wife's bank and costa card both threw a wobbler after she started keeping them in her phone cover thing.

I understand they contain some sort of chip, which sounds pretty smart but I do wonder what'll happen to that chip if the coin is left next to a mobile phone or mag field. My bank cards have suffered due to proximity to both.

Is that just too smart.

You can already buy new blag pound coins for 50p round our way.

I Am not an expert but I have never had any issues carrying my phone with an emergency credit card. People used to worry that it could kill the magnetic strip though it seems it could be a myth a bit like starting a fire with your phone at a petrol station.

Maybe the issue is her phone case

Won't happen with credit cards, they use a different type of magnetic strip to cards like hotel room cards, which are designed to be rewritten frequently. Those can be wiped with a mobile phone.

I have had quite a few new pound coins pass through my hands and none was a 2017 one.

 

[Drago]

Presumably that's because your hands were made prior to 2017.

I'm convinced the new pound coin is just yet more fake news... that is until i actually see one.
