What was the exact date that the £1 coin appeared......?

Question

can anyone tell me if the £1 coin holder is still around.....cheers.R

Answer 1

1983 ~ 443,053,510 were minted so they did not all appear on any one date in 1983.

Answer 2

The coin was introduced on 21 April 1983 to replace the Bank of England one pound note, which ceased to be issued at the end of 1984 and was removed from circulation (though still redeemable at the Bank's offices) on 11 March 1988. One pound notes are still issued in Jersey, Guernsey and by the Royal Bank of Scotland, but the pound coin is much more widely used. It was given the nickname "round pound" on introduction, although this term did not remain in common use.

As of December 2005 there were an estimated 1,452 million £1 coins in circulation

yes some shops do still sell the coin holders, market stalls are good for them too.

hope this helps :)
