Well, 1s and 2s also look like 1c and 2c
Obviously, noone does this, since the value of LVL is higher than EUR. (1LVL=1.43 EUR). I wonder about Lithuanian coins, there it might be an issue, since LITAS is like 5 times cheaper than LATS. I know my grandma was tricked once in accepting 2 lithuanian cent coin (white made of aluminium 0.0058 EUR) for 2 Lats coin (white but heavy, 2.85 EUR).

here you can see the new 1£ coin, first issue on march 28th,
it seems that it will look more like our 1€ coin than the former 1£ coin.
dimensions and weight :
Diameter 23.43mm (1€ coin = 23.25mm) (former 1£ coin =22.5mm)
Thickness 2.8mm ( 1€ coin = 2.33mm) (former 1£ coin = 3.15mm)
Weight 8.75g ( 1€ coin = 7.50g) (former 1£ coin = 23g)

They were not around yet, when I was there in the beginning of February, but let's try to find some next month. When are the old coins withdrawn?

[tabbs]

Very soon actually. According to the New Pound Coin website, "The legal tender status of the round £1 coin will be withdrawn on 15th October 2017."

Last time,after cashing some fivers, I 'm always going inside of the bank to the coinmachines.people always forget to check the rejectbasket . Now there were some coins laying on the coinvending machine. 8 pieces and even some behind the coindepositmachine. So I got between those machines and got another 8 coins

On the coinvendingmachine:
2 britsh 1 pennies : 2008 & 2010
2 swiss francs 20c : 1978 & 1992
2 eurocents france 1999& Luxembourg 2016 (new)
2 turkish lira's : 1 & 5 kurus : 2015,2016
Only the 1 kurus looks like a cent, same copper colour only thinner and lighter.
And the 'pound' coins less then 1mm as a 5 cent piece. Even swiss 20c is the same size
Only silvercoloured.

Behind the machine:
2 old dutch cents 1958,1970 (little bigger than a eurocent)
2polish groze : 2 gr 2013,5 gr 1990
1 croatian 5 lipa 2009 nice
And 12 cent: 10 c AT 2002,1c DE 2012A & a corroded 1c DE xxxxx

That's probably the only possible "fake" euro coin worth more than the real one
