New currency rolls in next month
Some significant changes are coming when the latest set of Manx money comes into circulation on 10 April.
The updated set will see a five pound coin in official use for the first time, but there will be no 1p and 2p coins and the round pound will remain for now.
Expert and collector Mike Southall is releasing a new edition of his book on the history of Manx coinage to coincide with this.
He told Ed Oldham there have been Manx five pound coins for many years, but not in general use:
Trial of man accused of causing death by dangerous driving starts
Survey finds those under 40 find it difficult to manage on current income
Ban for driver who had almost four times legal limit of cocaine in system
2000 year-old spoon discovered on IOM used to 'tell the future'
Young people given chance to shadow Governor
