If your a cash business, watch out for fakes.

Worrying stats on counterfeit UK coins.

"This was more than 23 times higher than the number seized six years earlier, MPs were told.

An estimated one in 36 £1 coins in circulation are counterfeit, prompting a campaign by the Royal Mint telling people how to spot fakes.

Key signs of counterfeits include a poorly defined ribbed edge or an indistinct design of the Queen."

"...As soon as a coin accepted in good faith is found to be counterfeit, it is immediately rendered worthless. Attempting to pass it on is an offence."

Lots of these coins are accepted by most cash machines, do not try to use them on London Undergroung, they have Germany coin readers that are very accurate.

I will accept them as a tip if you are offering!
