Fake Coins

If you find you have been given a fake coin, maybe in your change from somewhere but didnt know where, would you try and pass it on again or just throw it away?


I have had them in the past but couldn't bring myself to use them in a shop, I think I would look too guilty to start with. Lol . My daughter on the other hand has said give it here I'll take it and she has got away with it.... not lately though I must add. Lol

yes i would put the coins in the super market trolley then let some old dear give you her pound for the trolley

I spend mine in the packi shop

whats wrong wit it ffs

I never look at them close enough to see if they're fake so would probably just use them anyway. Have had the occasional foreign coin slipped into my change before though and nothing you can do but throw them away

I put them in a tin...............habit of a lifetime, my lad used to collect foreign coins when he was little and the tin is still in my house. I think I'll make that his inheritance when I pop my clogs.

I'd use them and hope for the best as most shopkeepers now days aren't bright enough to look at coins only notes.

i've got 2 fake £1 coins one i got in change from the chinkies don't kow where i got the other, i put them in a pot in the unit
