Thursday Puzzle - Why is yours best?

I got this idea from http://www.thespoke.net/MyBlog/ddt/MyBlog.aspx. A very good blog, if a little quiet of late.

Not so much a puzzle, as an exercise in salesmanship this week: I take out of my pocket two pound coins and put them on the table. They are identical in every respect. Your company makes the one on the left. Explain to me why that is the better pound coin. Best answer wins the certificate. My decision is final. Hey, I don't make the rules...or, perhaps I do in this case.

The one on the left is different to the other ones because the middle part of the coin won't pop out rendering it invalid tender, unlike the others which use a very cheap but poor construction, invisible to the naked eye but not durable.

I reckon that Wes just about gets this one. robhu deserves a special mention for the amount of irony in his diet, but Wes makes the best pitch. And at the end of the day that is what I was after.
