	2000 Yr Old Fake Coin Valued At ?3,000 « on: November 04, 2010, 09:21:24 am »

A unique Roman coin found by a metal detector was made by an ancient ?Del Boy? forger who could not spell and did not know his emperors. . . . . Rob Clements, 45, discovered the coin buried two inches beneath the surface on a grass path near Brighton, East Sussex, just months after buying his first metal detector.

When it's forged 2000 years ago....... easy......

There are MANY forged pound coins in circulation here, come across them quite often.
Made of plated steel, probably about 5p each to produce.... pretty good profit margin......
