They've been out for two weeks now, I pay for a fair amount of things in cash but I just keep getting old pound coins in my change. Is it just me?

Dp had 2 last week so I've seen them but not had any myself yet. I only usually use cash for parking machines and none around here are accepting them yet so I don't really want any.

I've had a couple, they have a sort of hexagonal shape don't they? I hope they fit in shopping trolleys etc !

I haven't seen one. But I live in the north of Scotland, they might take a while to work their way up here!

I've got 3. A shop assistant more or less forced them on me!

I've only seen them at work (shop). They were in an sealed bag in the safe though, not the till. The manager doesn't want us to put them in the till incase we waste them. She doesn't seem to understand that they are here to stay!

Got my first view of one last night... it's gone missing (darnit).
Dated 2016. WHY?

I only got one because I asked for one in the post office. I have not been given any in my change yet.

Yes, but I didn't notice - DD spotted it. The edges are not what I expected not a threepenny bit

I've had 1, just 1 and that was last week. Nothing since despite spending a huge number of notes to try and get my hands on some more. I wonder where they are? Confused

No, was beginning to think that they must be a mythical invention.

lljkk They have to be dated to the year they were made, even if that's before they were in circulation. They needed to start making them last year to make enough.

Several.
They're a bit rounder than I expected.
