Like the US Mint, (www.usmint.gov), you can order any new issue from the UK's mint site.  Here is the link:

Answer 2

A friend of mine in Thanet sent me a one pound coin from England a couple of years ago as well as other British coins.  Pretty sure you can get yours at par from your local bank in Columbus as banks usually keep a supply of coins and bills from other countries on hand which they have obtained from visitors.
