Yes, these types with the flowing hair and the large pellets in the hair were the same ones which several numismatists condemned as fakes many...
I'd be interested in pictures of the fake Histaia and legionary denarii as well. I know that I've seen fake legionary denarii for several years...
That is definitely a cool tourist gimmick worth hanging onto!
