The UK Government has postponed the introduction of two new 5p and 10p coins from April 1, 2011, to January 1, 2012.
The Royal Mint had been preparing to introduce coins with a new mix of metals, however the Treasury has said it was keen to ensure that full account was made of the costs to industry and the associated impact of the change.
United Distributing Company introduced a new dual coin mech at the recent EAG Expo and the manufacturer has told InterGame it will still be compatible when required in January next year.
