This represented a considerable increase, up from 2.06% a year earlier, with the highest level of counterfeits being in Northern Ireland (3.6%) and London and the South East (2.97%) and lowest in Northwest England. Some estimates place the figure closer to 5%. An earlier survey in 2006 gave an estimate of 1.7%, which itself was nearly twice earlier estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In July 2010, it was reported there were so many counterfeit pound coins in circulation (about 2.81% or about 1 in 36) that the Royal Mint were considering removing the current \u00a31 coin from circulation and replacing it with a new design. Bookmakers Paddy Power offered odds of 6\/4 (bet \u00a34 to make \u00a36 profit) that the \u00a31 coin would be removed from circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One common method of detecting counterfeits (if the sound of the coin on a table or the colour of the metal does not indicate something suspicious) is to check whether the reverse matches the edge inscription for the alleged year \u2013 it is extremely common for counterfeiters to get this wrong. Also, the writing on the edge may be in the wrong font and look very poor (see image), and the coins often generally look much less sharp and defined, lacking intricate details. Most counterfeit \u00a31 coins in circulation are made of brass, and most lead copies are easy to spot and are quickly removed from circulation.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First post of 2011!
