fake £1 coins

[Levo-Lon]

I used to forge 10p's by filing the corners off 50 pence pieces, never did very well out of it though.

your a true Pioneer @threebikesmcginty ..

When I lived in Germany with the Army in the 80s, there was a big problem with vending machines as 5p pieces were the exact same size and weight as a 1 mark coin. In large swathes of Northern Germany there were no vending machines as a result.

Two trips to the Oktoberfest in Munich in 1984 and 1985 saw me with a several pounds (weight) of 5p coins in my rucksack.

Being a non smoker I bought the cigarettes and sold them at a 'reduced' price to fellow campers and boozers.

It is a sort of 'hobby' of mine to collect pound coins. It all started off when I decided to get an answer to the question of how many pound coins you can fit into a standard pint milk bottle.

The answer, if you can find one strong enough to take the weight, is exactly 300 give or take depending on how careful you are packing them in etc.

After that things got a little out of hand and I'm up to over 1500 now. I'll have to look for fakes!

The answer ... is exactly 300 give or take

You weren't a tax inspector in a previous life, by any chance ?

Bitd you could solder a wire to a pound coin washer and use it to play pool all night long (table foball as well)

I don't think so! It had been bugging me for a while. Once I knew the answer I wondered to what level of accuracy you could calculate the number you can get in a litre bottle.

The standard glass bottle used for doorstep deliveries round here.

What was the difference between the pint & litre.

Rounded top or tapered top bottle?

 

[Hugh Manatee]

Here's one of the glass bottles and the other is a 750 ml version of the one litre bottle. You can see how exciting the cat is finding it all!

Used to get the tapered pint bottle round here. Glass, not plastic as pictured.
