Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 2:31 pm They seldom ever use the correct metals - lots of odd colours and weird weights. You couldnt reuse them - some might be different metals in the core! I think the general populace should be more encouraged to filter them out. No-one takes them out - its too much trouble when they are so very common. Im yet to find a fake £2 though. I dont go through many though so Icant say much for it. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinage123 Valued Member United Kingdom 449 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 05:08 am I received a fake £2 coin in my change at Greggs the bakers, at the time I wanted to get rid of it so I re-entered Greggs and bought something else with it. I sort of wished I kept it now. Report this Post to the Staff

DaytR Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 837 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 7:57 pm I got a fake 2005 one pound coin today in the change and amazingly yesterday I got a fake 1993 coin which was very shiny for coin allegedly "minted" in 1993 ! What amazed me about the 1993 coin was how detailed the coat of arms was and the lettering on the side. Its amazing how the forgers really put an effort into making it look so authentic compared to the fakes that are usually made by lazy forgers who cant even match the year and designs correctly !!
