Default Pound Notes or Pound Coins which is better

OK so which you prefer

I hate pound coins, especially as I normally end up with a pocket full of them after a night out and it makes my jeans really heavy on one side

I did have some half pennys somewhere..

I remeber when my dad sent me up the road to get him some smokes(i was only about 8 or 9!) and I dropped the pound coin in the field... So he gave me a pound note as I couldn't loose that...

Why not get rid of hard cash all together and pay for everything with plastic (credit/debit cards).

Oh and had to go with the don't care option!

We still have pound notes in Scotland, about 20 years after Lawson killed 'em off south of the border. Nowadays it's only the Royal Bank of Scotland who produce them and there are less and less in circualtion.

Personally I couldn't care as I end up spending coins and notes exactly the same.
