Wikipedia says that the equatorial circumference of the world is 40075.02 kilometres, and that the diameter of a one-pound coin is 22.50 millimetres. By dividing these, we find that the number you want is exactly 1 781 112 000.

You have already got an answer which tells you how many.
Now imagine you have your ring around the earth, and that it touches everywhere. Add some more coins, and move the ring a bit so that it is the same distance away from the earth all the way round. How many coins would you need to add before you could get underneath? The answer may well surprise you.

Take the circumference of the Earth at the equator: 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers) and then divide it by the diameter of one pound coin. The one pound coin has a diameter of 22.50 mm. (the sovereign is 22 mm diameter). So, depending on your specific question. Take the big number and divide it by the little number. Good luck!!! OH YES: you will have to convert the kilometers to mm for this to be accurate.
