dutch Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 So the hardest to fake £1 coin has been copied and it looks like you have to be really careful inspecting them. Checking all the silly features to see if they are real. We usually just accept pound coins without very closely inspecting them, we are not that poor and can afford the gamble if they are fake.

geared Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Surely it won't be too long before fakes appear, even bad ones will pass muster with most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Might as well fake £2 pound coins they are worth twice as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 They do don't they?? In some places they don't even need bother, Morrisons had a huge problem a while back with Iranian money being put in their self-service tills as it was recognised as £2 coins.

blake Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Filipino 1 peso coins are a dead ringer for UK 10p ones. Trouble is, you'd have to pass about 650 of them to earn a tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if you're passing them off as 10p pieces, then 650 of them would net you £65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marx Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Er... Surely if you're passing them off as 10p pieces, then 650 of them would net you £65. Depends how much it costs to obtain the coins initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Er... Surely if you're passing them off as 10p pieces, then 650 of them would net you £65. But it will cost you money to buy the peso coins in the first place.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
