JustGiving Drop Down


Fake Coin - 26/09/11


I was paying in offline funds today in order to pay it into VSO. To do this I was pouring my change into those great machines that count it all up and deposit it for you. One pound coin kept being reject and a member of staff had a look and discovered it was forged and showed me how she knew.

I can only assume this was some personal, malicious attack against me from some member of the public during my collection. From this day on I am dedicating any spare time to tracing this coin back to the person whose palm it came out of and I will swap it for a real pound coin. Or two 50p's, or any combination making up a pound...mark my words!

Alternatively I might just forget it is in my wallet and back into the money flow it will go. In fact I am now looking in my wallet and I have a real coin (change from my lunch) that matches the fake and I can't quite identify between the two. Oops. See the images below, can you spot the fake? Comment with your conclusions.
