Fake €2 Coin

RobitTV

Feckers at Lidl gave me a Fake Turkish 2 Euro coin. Appearntly its only worth 51 Cent in turkey. Cant believe i didnt notice it. :mad: anyone Else get this coin before?

There's a few around like that. I think Greece had similar at one stage before the Euro came in.
They pop up occasionally.

I got given a similar one in the Point, a thai coin. Serves me right for buying drink in the point I suppose.

You can always use it in the cig machine....if you smoked of course

Shryke

Don't blame the staff in Lidl. If you didn't notice the cashier definitely didn't I'd say. Oh and sickened!

honru

I'm always paranoid now that I'm going to be given a turkey.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

apparently the thai ones work in vending machines, so if you get a few save them for cigarette machines or sell them at a euro a pop to your smoker friends

The government should use them to bail out the country , be quarter of the price :pac:

At least it wasn't a fake €20 €uro coin...

well it's a "fake euro", best way to get rid of them is at a busy takeaway at 2am

Yeah, I've seen a fake 2Euro coin, was meant to look like one and all.

And my friend got one, just like a 2€ coin, it was from Malhi or some country like that, looked the exact same

**Timbuk2**

Just throw it in the box on the Dublin Bus, not a huge deal. Happens us all from time to time!

I got a fake €50 note off SuperValu last week. I tried to spend it in Maxol but they wouldn't take it. Thankfully, SuperValu exchanged it for me.

The Bulgarian Lev looks a lot like a 1 euro coin, i've got 3 or 4 of them in change over the past year or so.

It might not be a fake € but it's not a €uro coin.

I was stung with a fake one about a year ago.
Got it in change from the supermarket and spent it in the (not attached, but owned by the same people) off licence.

A few days later one of the young fells who works in the off licence berated me over it.
I apologised and offered to pay the difference. He said no, and then sneered at me. He's a ****ing prick though. The same prick screwed my sane lodger out of €10 in change too.

I honestly didn't notice the difference. Can't remember where the coin was from though.

You should have whipped a half nelson on his a55 and made HIM apologise. What the hell would John Cena have done?

I used to work in a bank and the amount of fake notes being deposited through the quick deposit envelopes is huge.

easily clock up £500 a day, sometimes alot more in 50's and 20's.

most of the deposits from businesses.
Some of the notes looked like they had been made with a 5 year old with some crayons. I don't know how cashiers missed that they were fake.

So you went back to them and told them you got a fake €50 and they believed you and swapped it for a real 1?

wow never seen that happen before.

Cena would have made a film out of it, informed us of the presence of the champ, and then appeared himself without a championship belt.

The writers would then try to turn him heel, all the while completely ignoring the fact that nobody cares about him and that the kids actually love the wannabe Stone Cold Steve Austin persona of Randy Orton.

The writers would then continue to piss on 79% or their audience by giving us an inferior and PG product.

People named "Vince" should not be allowed to be involved in the PW industry. That comment will be lost on most people.

Anyway, here's Vince McMahon with collagen lips:

I warned you this would happen.. but you didn't listen! YOU DIDN'T LIIIIISSSSSTEN!

I came across one of these in work one day when counting the float at the end of the day. I left it out and informed the boss the next day, somebody obviously paid for something with it.

When you are transacting it, maintain eye contact with the vendor. It's easier if the vendor has a face like a melted welly and knows it. A flirtatious smile will see your '2 bob' coin into the till unnoticed.

It might be best to identify a bush pig on the till. Also don't use it in a pile of change. Buy a scratch card* or something for two euro or under at any rate.


*you probably don't need a scratch card so that nugget of 'wisdom' is patently ridiculous unless you are a chronic gambler, in which case, condolences.

Nice - you got screwed over, so you decided to rectify this by targeting a completely innocent third party legitimate business who had nothing to do with the forged note.

I'm remember a similar incident happening to me where I work (Maxol) like this. Was that you?

Hint:

The first thing I said was "Are you ****ing joking me?" as an attempted purchase on a pack of chewing gum was being made.

I got a porno coupon in change once. Never any of these other coins though.
