Default I feel Robbed!

What a bad start to the day!

I have just found another fake £1 coin in my wallet! That "Again" I got from my local corner shop!

I will be having words with Naz Muhammad who runs and owns it! (That's his real name before the band wagon people start calling me a raciest LOL)

He will be getting something back if he don't sort it out!

May look like this after

I know it's only £1 coins but when I give them to the kids to spend on sweets Naz is quick enough to say NO it's fake which makes me think all kinds!

If he is giving out fake money you have to wonder what else he is up to

They just look like "chinese cheap copies" compared to the originals. Sometimes the text on the side edge wears out, or looks wonky, for example

Another good way of telling is that the sweets machine at work doesn't accept them

They are made of softer material than the original, they are thinly plated, and if you drop them on a hard surface the dont bounce they make a dull thud unmissably different to real ones.

You can V the edge of them with a 10 pence piece.

They are also a different weight so wont go in any post 1990 vending/gaming machines.

Apparently they go for 25 pence each, with a minimum order of a thousand.




More worrying is that you keep lose change in your wallet......

Never noticed one myself or seen anyone else do so either. Best not to look I think. Flash is getting them to print more money anyway!
