[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2727851, member: 39"]That's the kind of problem you may run into when you build up high expectations before launching a new coin. ;) The old £1 was counterfeited a lot, and this new one was advertised as having several sophisticated security features. And it does have them, but people will look at their new pieces more attentively, I think ... With such bimetallic coins, separating the pill and the ring does not take a rocket scientist by the way. I tried it once with a €1 coin; leaving it in a freezer for a few hours, and then dropping it, usually gets the job done. Has something to do with the two parts having different thermal expansion coefficients; you will know more about this. :) Christian[/QUOTE]
