New 12-sided £1 coins start being made by Royal Mint

Pocket money may look a bit different this time next year because the £1 coin is changing.
The design for the obverse of the new 12-sided £1 coin, which has gone into production a year before it starts to reach people's pockets.The new one will have 12 sides instead of a smooth, rounded edge.
It's the first time the pound coin has been changed in more than 30 years.
The Royal Mint, who produce all of our coins, say the new design will make pound coins harder to illegally copy.http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/35935007
