\nOn Sunday, the \u2018round pound\u2019 will transform into scrap metal. Will you give your old \u00a31s to charity, or become a fraudulent tooth fairy?At midnight on Sunday, everything changes for ever. The pound coin\u00a0\u2013 the old, round, squat pound coin, as British as a\u00a0blue passport or a\u00a0bag of liver\u00a0\u2013 will cease to become legal tender. The trusty pound coin, unlocker of vending machines, locker of lockers, will simply transform into scrap metal in your hands, replaced by a\u00a0bimetallic interloper that looks as if it was designed by Fisher Price for a\u00a0bet.

In an age where the slightest alteration to anything must contractually be met by oceans of fizzingly disproportionate outrage, the old pound coin is preparing to die unmourned. Not even the old mainstays have managed to kick up much of a\u00a0fuss about its passing. Piers Morgan hasn\u2019t wanged on about it on Twitter. Nigel Farage hasn\u2019t hand-delivered a\u00a0letter of complaint to the Royal Mint. Katie Hopkins hasn\u2019t even found a\u00a0way to sputter and fart about how its replacement somehow represents a\u00a0state-mandated victory for Isis, even though that\u2019s what she does for a\u00a0living\u00a0now.
