I just found out that the weight of this pin in the new modification is significantly different from the old one, the old pin has a weight of around 0.16g but the new pin has a weight of 0.2g which already when weighing about 1000 pieces is a significant difference in the number of pins 200- 250 pieces. And even in terms of weight, it can have an effect on the cost of shipping, when buying more of these pins, I thought of dividing them, as is the case with other modifications of the form, on the other hand, there are so many of them that, of course, no one will want to sort them out, what about by that? The new pin with a weight of 0.2g has a lego mark on the side with a number, see photo.
