Budget 2014 announced that the government will introduce a new and highly secure £1 coin. The design incorporates four key features that would make the new £1 coin the most secure circulating coin in the world. These include: a 12-sided shape; bi-metallic construction; bi-colour appearance; and the Royal Mint’s new, world-leading anti-counterfeiting technology (Integrated Secure Identification Systems). The government is now seeking views on the proposals.
