Good to see at least one police force doing something.

These aren't 'numismatic' coins, like the Morgans and Trade dollars coming out of China, so I'm happy but not thrilled.

The irony in this is that they were arrested for attempting to 'undermine' the currency. Well, I think the Euro governments are doing quit a good job of it themselves yet I don't see any politicians being arrested.

These coins should be melted down and the metal sold off to help pay for the cost of policing. Well done! The best of British Luck! Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of crims!
