    Default Keep an eye on your change!

    If you go shopping, keep an eye on what is in your change. Don't let dodgy shopkeepers palm old round pound coins off on you. You can bet some will try, rather than have to sort them and bank them.

    It is illegal for them to do so now anyway, not to mention they would be defrauding you.

    The old £5 notes can be changed for new ones at POs and banks - can you do that with old £1 coins?
