Who found counterfeited (fake) euro coins

[Rufes]

I have found a fake german 2 euro.

you cant see it well but you can feel it that it is not a real euro, it has no relief and it is not even big like a real 2 euro. The bankautomat doesnt accept this euro and also drink/food automats dont accept this euro

Again todat i found (i think) a fake german 2 euro. The bankautomat doesnt accept this euro and also drink/food automats dont accept this euro, verry weard....

now I have my first fake piece of money I ever had, it's a "2€ 2001"
A friend asked me if I could give him 2€ after his coin was not accepted by the coffee machine. I didn't think of anything bad and exchanged the coin. I noticed a few strange things like unclear details, but I had to examine it very exactly until I found out that it has to be fake. The most definite sign is the edge, it has the "italian style" edge with 6x "2" and 6x "*", and those characters are not visible very clearly. And I think the edge has less, less narrow ribs than a normal 2€ coin.

The magnetism is copied quite good, but only the overall magnetism: it has a strange distribution of the magnetic parts. And at the edge, the metal looks a bit golden, I think there's only a very thin silver layer that is wearing off at the edge




oh, and did I mention the front and back are turned about 10°

Three days ago I found a sure 2€ coin 2002 G absolutely counterfait! It looks like more or less like those shown in the previous pictures (as I got time I scan it). Blured Iron and too bright nordic gold. the edge has slight ribs but absolutely no sign of the slightest engraving as all 2€.
Even the weight seems few higher (my balance is not enough sensible to feel the less than 1g difference).
Up to now I'll keep it!

Someone working at Center Parcs has been collected all kind of non-euro coins which were used as Euro coins. Yesterday, I've received that bag of coins. I was happy to find my 1st counterfeit 2€ 2002 . As you can see on the scan, it's a bad one. The normal edge lettering of EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT as been changed into: * EINIGKEIT UND RECMT UND FREIHEIF
