Does it feel anything like the proper weight?
Could try it in one of those self-serve machines in Tescos and see if it works....

thats cool then, did think it may have bin as you would have to be pretty dence to make it as a fake and be that bad at it and the coin was from 1968 iirc

Ones on the BBC News website from April show the coin as having no writing around the rim.

I take hundreds at work and just give them back out, round here people just use them as real pounds because there are so many and always has been.

What happens if someone brings you an old £5 note, do you exchange it for a new one? As I work in a shop and often get the old £5's and some £10's (one mother fucker thought they could hide the old £5's in with some new ones, the look on their face when I told them was priceless)
