Jesus... you're a little ray of sunshine, aren't you. Her mother lived to be over 100.

Maybe they will keep the keyring thing rather than using coins, that would make more sense.

Apparently one of the reasons they changed it was because circular pound coins are really easy to forge

imagine ALL the vending machine, self service checkout tills etc they'll have to change

I dont get why people would bother forging a pound coin. If you have the time and stuff, do twenty quid note or something
