) I think there are many things our ( millionaire cabinet ) don't know about the Real world.
There was a bloke on the news who runs a vending machine company, who said the change
Over would cost him a fortune.
Who knows maybe it won't affect Scotland in a few years. )

Millions upon millions are lost in revenue each year through dodgy pound coins being used in vending machines and automated ticket machines. The new pound coin is a good move for business and far outweighs the negatives in terms of upgrading or changing trolley locks. It won't cost that much for them as it's only a 15p plastic insert. Better to have safe hard to counterfeit currency than multi milliion turnover supermarket franchises having to spend a miniscule amount on plastic trolley trays. You seriously want easy to counterfeit coins that damages business, the country and us personally just so supermarkets don't have to overhaul their trolley security.
As for vending machine companies, they've been up in arms for 20 years about how much pound coin counterfeiting has been putting them out of business. Coins have been upgraded since coins came into being. Don't believe the negative spin wagon that is happening now. It didn't happen when the new 50p and all the rest were introduced. And this is a real benefit to those who rely on automated machines that accept coins.
The only reason people are complaining, is simply the fact they want the Govt to compensate them for these upgrades, when it is the Govt doing them a favour in making the currency so much more secure. It's that compensation and sue for everything state we are living in that makes these daft arguments come to the fore.
Seriously folks, think about it. Everyone has been banging on about the huge amount of fake £ coins in the system for years now, and it is a huge amount, and that's just the good ones that are difficult to differentiate. Then you have the cheap lead ones that are crude, but still work. Something needs to be done about them. A pound may not be what it was, but millions of fake coins in the system, with more added daily, isn't good for anyone except the counterfeiters. And everyone else, is losing out. Time to stop it, or let it carry on. What do you want to happen?
I'm not disputing you, Asp9mm, and I am sure you're right. TP raised the point of how much our honoured leaders know about the real world, citing supermarket trolleys, and I believe he's right there.

As for coins, " Everyone has their passions " Asp9mm makes some valid points.
Although there is bound to be a twelve sided chinese or south american coin that
will soon be finding it's way over. )

Are you serious? They genuinely didn't know that?
