Old £1 coins have officially been withdrawn from circulation today.
Following the introduction of the new 12-sided coin earlier this year the old round ones will no longer be taken in shops.
After that date you will no longer be able to pay with the round coin, which were first introduced in 1983 when they replaced the old £1 note.
However, for a limited period, banks and post offices will still allow customers to deposit old £1 coins into their bank account.
But some may only accept the coins bags of 20, instead of just the odd one or two, so it might be worth cracking open your piggy bank and having a rummage behind the back of the sofa.
Some 1.5 billion of the new coins are being produced at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant as around one in thirty of the old coins in circulation is a fake.
Of its 12-sided replacement Royal Mint chief executive, Adam Lawrence said: “It’s been designed to be fit for the future, using security features that aim to safeguard our currency, and currencies around the world, for years to come.
“Staying ahead of sophisticated counterfeiters remains a constant challenge and this coin helps in that battle.”
