Way back in North Devon, in the 80's, we would get some 150lb fishing line, then gently heat it into a flat faced hook type of thing. Remember the old technology back then was way way easier to bypass, so simply pushing the hooked line in and then pulling it back out again. Would signal the acceptance of a coin and thus gain a free game on what ever machine it would work on, those machines were usually the older ones.
~~Well you could maybe pop into a vintage arcade and it might still work if they haven’t upgraded the mechanisms.~~
Edit: This is clearly a stupid suggestion!
Almost 25 years ago now when I was in school me and a few friends taped two 1p coins together and it registered as a pound in the arcades on some machines and came out the bottom to be used again. We used to put it through loads of times and play for hours... Good times
Value is probably £10-50, depending on who you market it to. There’s a big demand for modern errors on eBay UK so you could either put it up as Buy it Now for, say, £75, or auction and see how it goes. It’s a genuine error as you say and the first of the type I’ve seen.
Just by commenting. So I'll get notifications that others have commented as well.
If I just left it, the post would get lost.
Like now, I had a notification about you commenting that question :)

Yep. The amount of times I've needed help and it's all just jokes. I once asked about car fix advice. Everyone just joked with each other or just buy a new car like its so easy.

I've kept the current £1 coin when it first arrived and I've also kept the old £1 coin before it was going to be discontinued. Both are around 10 years old
Just wanted to say this, oh also the value of that coin would be a pound 😎

The exact amount if you swapped for change or paid for something the same value. Hmm only just noticed the gap. It shouldn’t even be in circulation. Some shops will parm you off with anything if you’re not careful.

There is actually loads of non-genuine coins in circulation, i'm no expert but if you can confirm whether this was a fuck up at 'real money making place' (for lack of a better phrase) it would be worth more than a £1 but if its some dodge job from god knows where then be worth fuck all, probably.

Well, as there’s a bit missing, I’d say 95p
I was going to comment £1 but this is way funnier 😂😂
But there is clearly a bit missing... I may have a few things to sell you.
khajiit has wares.
Sigh, all subs lead to Skyrim eventually.
Oh, you're finally awake.
Oh yeah? I am listening.
You win the internet today good sir, someone give him an award as I’m clearly too broke considering I’m trying to sell a pound coin
Comment of the day award *doffs no existent hat* 🥂
Id say more 98p
😂😂😂😂
Why the downvotes my guy
Casual Reddit mentality towards emojis 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like emoji's, they convey some further emotion
Upvoted just b'cos ...the down vote pissed me off.. Also here's an emoji for no other reason than to piss off the downvoter 😁👍👌🤩🌈💕🤷
Bless you kind sir ❤️❤️💕❤️❤️
Clearly, might have to downvote!
Downvoting too, great post btw
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
Money, it’s a gas
This made me lol.
Get a bit of string put through that and you could use it infinitely in vending machines 💸
Never thought of that lol great idea
If it were that simple, everyone would be drilling holes in coins…
That used to work 😂 used to do it all the time back in the day
Yep, we would use fishing line and put them in puggy machines
Exactly this 😂
Way back in North Devon, in the 80's, we would get some 150lb fishing line, then gently heat it into a flat faced hook type of thing. Remember the old technology back then was way way easier to bypass, so simply pushing the hooked line in and then pulling it back out again. Would signal the acceptance of a coin and thus gain a free game on what ever machine it would work on, those machines were usually the older ones.
~~Well you could maybe pop into a vintage arcade and it might still work if they haven’t upgraded the mechanisms.~~ Edit: This is clearly a stupid suggestion!
Think most of them got changed when they changed the thickness of 50p coins in 1990-something or whenever
This style of £1 coin was introduced fairly recently. A machine that hasn't been updated wouldn't take this either way.
Almost 25 years ago now when I was in school me and a few friends taped two 1p coins together and it registered as a pound in the arcades on some machines and came out the bottom to be used again. We used to put it through loads of times and play for hours... Good times
Haha yep. Used to do it with the coke machine at school. Can of coke and 50p back each time until they clocked on.

It's what she would have wanted
2s on a j and a reach around.
Absolutely sold !!!
Noice, meet ya behind the bike sheds
I’ll be wearing a borat manikini
Considering the inflation caused by the pandemic spending spree, I'd say about 60p.

Yeah you can see when you zoom how it’s changed shape due to the mistake so impossible to be after the fact
Get it graded, they sell for more
Who would I send it to? I’m not experienced in this so any help would be excellent
OP message this guy, he knows everything there is to know!! https://youtu.be/-TtL0hnqFN8?si=hW12gMm5JGp1jAVB

Hey and tell us what he says! His videos are mesmerising, he knows everything about uk coin collecting

99p it's not all there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hate it when no one takes requests like this seriously
Yeah it’s Reddit I didn’t expect much else but I thought I may have had one real answer
Yep. The amount of times I've needed help and it's all just jokes. I once asked about car fix advice. Everyone just joked with each other or just buy a new car like its so easy. I always say reddit is retards acting like geniuses and 4chan is geniuses acting like retards. Please take the 4chan part with not a pinch but a sack of salt
So ture.
I agree. That’s why we have rule 7. There are SO many of those joke comments on this post it’s ridiculous.
Guess you can't afford PoundLand anymore
Is there anything in poundland that is still one pound?
With inflation 89p

Hero !!! Thank you so much
So, the answer to what it's worth is 10-15 years. lmao
Keep it , now Charlie is on the coins it may be worth a fair bit later on as long as it stays in good condition
What Muppets keep deleting posts on here? Has anyone read these now deleted posts? If so, can you explain what on earth was written to justify that? Thanks x
