My Anthem to fakes!

And this is not a coin but schizophrenia! 25-pence coin of the queen Elisabeth the Second with the date 1-8-7-7!!! Is it the time machine?!

France.
10 francs 1967. Next example of illiteracy: not fRaternite ("brotherhood") but fHaternite.

 

Oh! I still will be able to surprise you!

 

Panama.
One side: "5 balboas".
Another side: "fifty centesimos"!!!

 

And, at last! This is my charts! Best of the best!
# 3.
"Morgan dollar"...

 

# 2.
Mercury dime / fantastic silver ounce...

 

Well, well, well... Just a minute! ...

 

WOW!!!
Number 1 of my charts!
Unique dollar with the date "1-9-0-6"!!!! This full madness!

 

That is all, my friends.

 

At least these are tourist grade fakes, not the kinds that would fool experienced collectors. You can find these at every travel location throughout the world. At $19 it's actually a fair price for such a set. If I were to buy a set like this from a flea market here in NYC, the price would be much higher even if they were labeled as fake.

 

Yeah, from the relief and style it looks like it was minted yesterday!

 

Indeed, the coins you showed in the "first group" are scary, possibly dangerous. The later ones are almost amusing. Reminds me of a coin I was offered one time: "My frrriends the Bedouins found it in the grrround!" Yeah, right.
