Just wanted to share a fake 2 € CC coin I got a few weeks ago.
The weight is spot on (8,5g) but the coin is not magnetic. The general feeling is just wrong, but dead giveaway are those circles.

Partially reeded (as the coin were very circulated) with no 2s and stars that we find on edges of italian coins.

I find it also interesting that they choose a lower mintage commemorative coin to counterfit.

Yeah ... Owning a few fake coins is fun, but too much of them can cause problems
