July 27, 201015 yr The problem is getting worse by the week.The lousy and uneven milled edge is the give-away, with the cross on the edge often missing or poorly marked. And when you turn them between your thumb and index finger the faces of the fakes seldom line-up with each other.Many of the fakes are poorly stamped - way off center, and not at all distinct. And the lettering on the edge is often in a PLAIN typeface that has no SERIF, and is just too sharp.

March 19, 201412 yr Author So what took so long? Apparently it's one in every 30 £1 coins now! Sounds like these are a boon for blind people too, who struggled to tell the £1 from a 2p.
