there's a chance it had been in circulation a while and nobody noticed ......or if they did then it was disposed of in the machine.
or even an african student had a few in his pocket change
when i was working in an arcade now and again a handful used to turn up.
one time we thought we'd been hit by the swazi mafia when about 8 showed up from the bank of a partytime double decker,hopper inspections only yielded about half a dozen more so it was ok.
last time i checked they were worth about 7p,yet internet coin dealers want about 2-3 pounds each :x
i've often pondered on the logistics of getting a consignment from southern africa to the u.k ,but surely if it was that easy crims would be doing it on a noticable scale.
iirc they are actually minted here and then exported
