[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 4851545, member: 29458"]I disagree, The Royal Mint estimated that about 2.5% of 1.6 billion of £1 coins were fake, leading them to introduce the new 12-sided bimetallic £1 coin in March 2017. The dodecagon coin also has a hidden "high security feature" built in, making it much harder to counterfeit. They might try to fake them but they are not been passed. I handle a lot of cash daily and I've yet to see one. My daughter is a bank teller and has not seen a fake new £1 coin. The US dollar is the second most counterfeited world currency. According to illicittrade.com, in 2015, one in 10,000 US dollars was forged. The $20 bill is the most commonly counterfeited banknote in the US, while overseas counterfeiters are more likely to make fake $100 bills.[/QUOTE]
