AS an avid numismatist, I had been looking forward to the issue of the new £1 coin.
I listened to the radio on Tuesday, March 28, and it was stated that the Post Office in Lendal, York, would be issuing the coins that day.
I visited the Post Office only to be told that “management” had said that their stock of old £1 coins would have to be distributed before the new stock.
Having arrived home later in the morning I again listened to the radio to hear that already a customer had managed to get four new coins at Lendal earlier that morning.
I am very annoyed.
