NOTE. Due to the Royal Mint being incapable of producing two coins the same, 100% acceptance of any new issue of coins after programming can not be guaranteed. Any reprogramming required for hand taught units upgraded after 3rd April 2017 due to metal content changes in new coins will incur a £8 charge which includes return. This will possibly be an on going issue for some time until all new coins and batches in the future are well mixed.

The way modern machine software is written, some games will not see new coins on the mech, only the coins it expects to see. So some machines will only see bank A, some refuse to see any additional coins, and others go into alarm mode. Serial MPU5, new coin pound only. MPU6 often goes in to coin alarm. Modern PC based games can be problematic. Call if you are not sure.
