Did you know that the pound coin turned 30 on Sunday? They’ve found some fantastic research comparing the cost of everyday items from the coin’s inception, in 1983, to today. For example, did you know that in 1983, you could get almost six Mars bars for a pound, with only around one for a pound today.

There’s a great interactive web page, where you can find out more, and even design your own pound coin – which is pretty addictive!

There’s also a quiz – do you know which film franchise was bought for under a pound? Or which famous movie location was bought for a quid?
