The Tories have managed to sell us the idea of a 12 sided £1 coin.

Probably at about £1.20 each.

The big reason to switch to coins is they last longer. Canada switched to $1 and $2 dollar coins a while back. I just checked what I had on me and one $1 dollar coin is from 1987 and another one is from 1992. Typically a one dollar paper bill had a lifetime of about one year.
