There may be one in an old coat pocket or hidden down the back of the sofa.

About 169 million round £1 coins have not been returned to the Royal Mint, nine months after they stopped being legal tender.

The round £1 coin was replaced by the 12-sided version in October last year, with millions of the old coins being melted down to create the new ones.

The BBC even has a handy diagram to show you where they may be.

A lot are probably still holiday money - people returning home from a trip to the UK can't usually turn them in at a local bank, they only accept notes. I have a tankard full of UK coins.
