The most common fakes are the 2003/8 ones with the crest. They are a slightly different colour. The best way to tell is hold it between finger and thumb and spin it around. If the queens head is printed at a different angle to the crest then its fake.

Look brand new dated 2004, and got lines around the sides rather than letters

Fake coins are as convincing as fake moustaches.

I put all of my fake coins in train ticket machines and parking meters.
Kind of feels like I'm getting my own back for all those fare increases and parking fines.
