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:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
