Russian animals coins

Thanks. I agree, I just didn't expect recent coins to be fake. I normally steer away from the rarer Russian and Chinese stuff because I don't know enough to spot fakes but I didn't think I had to worry about this. It was two years ago though, so time has dulled the pain.

Thanks. You would think that a country that big would get a good translation when designing coins.
