General - Counterfeit Coinage - follow up information

Counterfeit Coinage

Further to yesterdays message on the fake pound coins.

Best advice is that if you receive such coins retain them and check with the bank. Some members have pointed out that they have taken similar coins to the bank only to be told they are in fact genuine. Obviously this means any of fake copies in circulation are pretty good. (I am assuming if that is the case they would exchange them if required.)

We have had several instances over recent months when persons have tried to offload large amounts of coins into the system.

The original report was passed to us by CSN member so I will endeavour to get more accurate information on the matter and pass it on to you.
