Which of the two is the fake coin? The one on the right or the one on the left?

Found a fake coin in my pocket today. I realized because of the sound.

A post will come soon on this topic!

The one on the right is 15 years old and the other one is 5 years old and they did change the front-side of the coin n 2007. But I haven't heard about changes of the metal alloying, which would explain the different sound. Did you try using it in a vending or ticket machine?

Coin forgery should be much more common because it is extremely profitable. The material for a 2 Euro coin costs only 14 Cents and all you need is one stamp and two long rods of the not very uncommon materials used. If material, machines and stamp cost together 5000 Euro and printing 20000 coins takes 160 hours (0,5 minutes per coin) or one month of work, you have a profit of 35000 Euro and a hourly salary of 220 Euro taxfree!! hmm.... The biggest problem is maybe how to spend 20000 coins. That sounds like a lot of work^^

If I would fake a coin would be a old model to justify all the mistakes the print could have,. For example diffrences of color, material and so on would be not so strange to see ;)

As you maybe know, it is all about weight when u reffer to coins. Reason why in banks they do not count but weight the coins ;) I want to make a small research about it in a future post. It is an interesting subject ...

Will work, is the exact weight of the normal coin ;)

I see you understand the business;-)

It's kind of strange that they apparently use standard alloys for the coins: Brass and cupro-nickel. That's not very difficult to obtain..

They are both real, I think. There are coins with different faces it seems. I would have said the left one is fake, because I've never seen that face before (Europe looks totally different), but it appears that's what the new ones look like now.
