Cool Re: Have you got one

There was something on the Jeremy Vine show today that caught my ear, apart from the forged coins bit. And that was that if you pass on a dud coin or note without knowing that it was dud you cannot get prosecuted.

There was something that I heard a while back on the wireless where it was reported that a coin the same size, colour and weight of a pound coin was being imported from an African country, I think it was. Its value in its homeland was a few pence.

Forgeries do make a case for using plastic instead of real cash. But I think that cash in the form of notes and coin will be with us for a long while yet. It beats carrying a pig under one arm and a goose under the other to exchange for a TV.
