manxcat 10 #1 Posted April 20, 2007 I've had a few lately. You can they are fake because the milling around the outside wears off and the writing is poor quality. Anyone else seen them much recently? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
PuressenceUK 10 #2 Posted April 20, 2007 I've had a few - it's highly annoying as you don't think to check! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
medusa 16 #3 Posted April 20, 2007 I saw a spate of these a few years ago- most of the ones that I saw were reshaped and restamped old 10p pieces, which were then sprayed gold. They only took you in if you weren't paying attention when someone gave you them- but it's annoying never the less. EDIT- I used one as my 'trolley quid' for a while. It was all it was fit for.

Mathom 10 #6 Posted April 20, 2007 I've had more'n a few - and that's a good reason to catch busy buses, as they don't have time to check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bananapie 10 #7 Posted April 20, 2007 Do most shops etc actually check for these? I don't think so. I must have had loads and not spotted them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
growler 10 #8 Posted April 20, 2007 Be careful when buying T-shirts and posters and anything else from those lovely people from Manchester who sell stuff outside the Hallam FM Arena. I know several people who have found duff £1 coins when they have got home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
newfgreen 10 #9 Posted April 20, 2007 How can you tell they are fake? Not that it matters where i work as long as the money looks good anyone will put it through the till. p.s. Not saying where i work are you will all be printing off fake notes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
