End of the road for round pounds

You'll no longer be able to spend old UK pound coins from this week.

From Wednesday the old quids will no longer be accepted.

Despite an announcement from the Treasury last year saying the Island would keep the currency after the UK did away with them, they'll now be taken out of circulation forever.

As of Wedneday only the new-style 12-sided coins, as well as Manx round coins, will be accepted.
