    New pound coin goes global with rollout to British Overseas Territories

    The coins are expected to feature images celebrating the heritage of these territories, with their history and culture pictured on the reverse side

    United Kingdom Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies will, for the first time, be able to design and mint their own versions of the new 12-sided £1 coin. The iconic £1 coin has long been recognized around the world and Brits living in UK territories may soon be able to spend unique versions of the new pound, replacing the older coins currently in use, reports the UK Treasury in an official release.
