    I once made flyers with £10 notes on one side, with my face instead of the queen, and plain on the other side with the blurb. I was giving them out at the beer festival in Cambridge and a mate said "Gimme another one I've just spent it at the bar!" I think "Yeah buddy, sure you have..." but give him one anyway. The next morning I get a phone call from someone at the beer festival telling me they've found several of my fake notes in their tills when cashing up and they'd be going to the police. I told her that if anything I've highlighted how careless their staff were being, accepting inkjet printed, single sided notes of the old style ten point note. She said that being so busy they dont have time to check every note. I pointed out that the moustache on the queen should have been a giveaway...

      @@BlueAversion I've never understood people with your mentality and I'm not saying this to take a piss at you. I'm just genuinely curious as to how your first inclination is to not believe a person about their story. If it's not important to you or your safety does it even matter that it's a lie? And why would someone lie about something so trivial and if they did why would you care? If someone lies about shit that doesn't matter I simply think "well that person is a fuck tard" then go about my day. But to accuse someone of a lie off gate about something that doesn't affect you just seems a tad much. It's exhausting really.

      I worked in a bank and found a fake $50 (Australia) that another teller had accepted from a customer. A real one is supposed to have a clear window in the corner with the Southern Cross in white stars on the window. It was a colour photocopy with a hole cut out where the window should have been, and then coated in plastic, with the stars very badly painted on with correction fluid. It felt obviously too thick, and completely smooth instead of the ridged texture of a real one, and I spotted it instantly. I showed it to the other teller, and he still wasn't sure it was fake.

      1. You will have to carry large amounts of paper currency. 2. The cheese credit cards will inevitably melt inside your wallet. 3. Your paper money will now be sticky and smell of cheese. 4. People won't like accepting smelly sticky money as payment. Lactose intolerant people may not accept your cheezy money at all. 5. Licking the bills clean wouldn't really solve the problem - at least if you do it in front of the person you are trying to pay. 6. Machines will tend to either not vaccept your money, gum up or - if advanced AIs - send for their flying robot henchmen to deal with you. 7. Your finances will be ruined and your snacks will taste of money, which really is more of an aquired taste.

    I was recently given a fake £2 coin as change. First off, the middle was a bit wobbly and it only took one swipe with a carriage key to knock it out completely. Next, I noticed the quality of the design was really coarse, and the coin looked far too worn for the age. Finally, when I found a real £2 coin to compare it to, the words around the side were in a different font, were a different size and not all of them were there! Once I'd reported it to the Mid Hants Railway (who had issued it as change to me), I split it into its two parts and it was permanently removed from circulation courtesy of Locomotive No.30925 'Cheltenham' - It's a bit flat now...

When I looked at the coins the only noticeable difference was they looked a slightly different shade of colour compared to other £1 coins, I can’t describe it but maybe duller and more of a matt finish.

    I worked at a liquidation store as a teen, and someone came in and tried to pay for something by giving me 2 real $5 bills and 2 that were pictures of $5 bills they had printed on their home ink jet. I was like "cool I just need to call my manager real quick" and they snapped at me that I was being rude, grabbed the printed bills, and ran out, leaving the real bills behind in their panic. I was like wtf, HOW did they think they were going to get away with that?
    A few years later I was a shift manager at a fast food restaurant. At the beginning of an evening shift I was cashing out the register that had been used by the shift manager during the day. She had accepted a piece of paper that had a picture of a $50 on it. The pic was blurry, it was a washed out pink colour (the real bills were bright red), and it was about 30% smaller than our actual bills are. A hecking SHIFT MANAGER had accepted it. She wasn't an inexperienced kid either, she was in her 50s.

    I love the Python reference. 'Nudge nudge wink wink' - It's become so ingrained into the British psyche it's not even clear at first whether it's a deliberate reference or just a phrase that's entered the vernacular, but I'm sure it was deliberate.

      That reminds me of a joke, the police have arrested a counterfeit money ring and the inspector and the police chief are examining one of the fake notes.
      Inspector: I must say, it's a very good fake. It looks just like the real thing, theres not even a misspelling. So tell me chief, how on earth did you figure out that they were counterfeits?
      Chief: Erm, inspector there's no such thing as a £9 note.
      Inspector: Oh, err well of course.

    Funnily enough when I first saw this sketch I misread it a bit and thought it was Punts (Punts or Irish Pounds were the currency of the Republic of Ireland prior to 2002) and so I was thinking that it failed even worse as they were trying to fake discontinued Irish money which would definitely not have either a British or Dutch Monarch's face on.
