Over the last two weeks after visiting various sandwich shops, pubs and cafes. I have acquired 3 worthless, bent and twisted pieces of scrap metal.
Two of them are badly dented around the edges and the face is slightly bent, obviously made of softer metal than the normal royal mint quid. One of them has reacted with something and has bubbled out slightly at the edge. One is in far better shape but has awful lettering around the edge "tutamen et decus". When I spin it around between my thumbs the designs are not aligned.
I knew fake coins were in circulation but hadn't actually noticed any until now. Receiving three in such a short period of time certainly doesn't feel good. Anyone else noticed any recently?
