[QUOTE="thaivic, post: 924575, member: 23991"]Chris has it right. Most people in Britain would not examine coins closely. It's worth while for fakers to produce thousands of these at a fraction of the value of the coin. I used to come across them fairly regularly but they tended to be rather crude. Perhaps these criminals are using better equipment these days. Did you hear the one about the stupid criminal who was filing down fifty pence pieces in order to pass them off as 10p?[/QUOTE]
