you wouldnt believe how many of these you handle in a day.
these fake quids are so good that banks take them as legal tender and dont even mind.
there are about £30,000,000 in fake £1 coins in britain and you probably have a few on you now.
hold a load of coins in a stack and look for the ones that are a slightly different colour and have wonkey writing on them, these are the fake ones, then get a real one with the same picture on it and you will notice that on real quids if the picture is upright and you turn the coin around the queen is the same way up but on the fakes the queen is up-side-down or side ways.

Makes you wonder if we'll be converting to the euro only at some point, harder to fake according to a snippet i read in The Sun newspaper.
