22 cent coin is a dud.

one of the 2 euro coins and a 1 euro are fakes.

What other fake coins can you see?

There is no such thing as a 22 cent coin.

Ok, have a look at the 2 euro on the right hand side, the text euro on the coin is wrong.

Re the coins game

The gold coin to the right of the 10 c coin at the top is smaller than the ten cent coin, even though the ten cent coin is the smallest gold coin in the set.

Not everyone gets through to the studio.

From what he has been saying there is a certain open line they are waiting for.
