auto locksmiths sheffield (google them) provide a really honest, friendly efficient service. They got me into my car the next day after I lost my keys and made up a new remote key no problem. Highly recommend them. (Dealers seem to take 2 weeks to get replacement keys at ridiculous expense).

Some interesting and informative comments - many thanks I have contacted First to get their view on the matter. Sorry if the thread title was a little sensationalist!

It seems dodgy to me - he could just say that about any coin and then keep it (the customer can't then check it for themselves) - nice little earner if he does that every few days...

My girlfriend got a First bus yesterday where the driver accused her of trying to "scam him" and pay with a fake one pound coin. He asked her for another one, but then kept the supposedly fake one! My girlfriend would never knowingly try to use a fake coin and is not dishonest. It is not the job of the bus driver to confiscate fake coins - I bet he will use it to pay for something.. I've had several recent experiences where bus drivers have been unhelpful (to a newcomer to Sheffield asking about bus routes) and bad tempered - doesn't paint a very good impression of the city...
