<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 3154952, member: 31620"]Not the current UK pound coins. The ones you are referring to were phased out in 2016 and replaced with a bi-mettalic coins in an attempt to limit the forging of the coins. At the best estimate about one in 30 of the coins in circulation when they were withdrawn. This was somewhere in the order of 75 million in circulation. I have several early examples of these fakes in my black cabinet. The early ones were quite primitive (gold paint over white metal) but they continued to try to keep one step ahead of the coin machine industry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
