Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 10/08/2009 3:21 pm G'day, there was a thread about the U.K. pound a while ago. As I recall, the Bank of England estimated that 1% of all one-pound coins in circulation were fake ... then it revised that estimate to 3%. Here in the Land of Oz, the $2 has been counterfeited: I haven't found one myself, but if I recall correctly, Nancy & a couple of others have got them from circulation. They say that the forgeries are readily identified with the unaided eye. Regarding folding money: polymer seems to be the way to go. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 10/08/2009 4:49 pm Oh really..haven't heard about Australian 2-Dollar fake coins, I'd love to get one if I can!.. I can trade it with Turkey fake 1-lira coins with anytime anyone wants. :).. I am trying to build this counterfeit coin colelction, with the ones I can get from the circulation and friends. I have several Australian 2-dollar coins in my folder, but all look to be genuine I think, I compared them with my only Australian coin-set. By the way, Peter, I have a jar full of circulated Aussia 50 cents here, dating from 1969 to 2007. My favourite one is 1994 50-cent with the drawing of a family on it. I gave one of those to my girlfriend as a token of good luck and she carries it in her purse. See, she loves me so much, she's carrying that giant coin because of me. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 10/08/2009 5:48 pm true love, indeed. Most Aussies have a bit more weight than the family on the 1994 coin. 1969 was thev first year of the 12-sided 50-cent. I spent some time in western Turkey in 1987: had a ball; loved the food - Marmaris, Ephesus, Izmir, Istanbul, Anzak. I hope to return one day. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
