We're looking for the first person in the county to get one of the new-style pound coins. They start being circulated from today, but none of the banks have them yet. So the closest you can get is a leaflet from the Royal Mint, explaining all about the coins, why they are being introduced, and what businesses have to do to prepare for them. But surely someone on the boat or the plane is going to bring some in their pocket. If that's you, get in touch - on here, or on (01856) 873939. (Oh, and don't worry about the old ones. They're still legal tender until October. And banks will carry on accepting them even after that. So you don't have to get rid of them all in a rush. Though some people apparently have been.)
