Udon Thani police are warning people to be on the lookout for fake change after a 7-Eleven in Muang district filed a police report when they recently received THB3,000 worth of fake THB10 coins. 

Apparently, the convenience store got all 300 fake coins from a single female customer who asked to trade the coins in for notes.

A staff member at the 7-Eleven told officers that the woman, who appeared to be between 30 and 35 years old, visited the store on Thursday with the THB10 coins separated into 30 plastic baggies.

The staffer noted that the store was busy and employees didn’t look at the coins carefully and just handed over the THB3,000 to her. To be fair, they probably weren’t expecting to see fake versions of such a low denomination of money.

Later, when they had a chance to look at the coins, they realized that the coins were not genuine, reported Thai PBS.

This crime leads to lots of other questions. The printing of fake banknotes only requires a printing press. But the creation of fake coins would require more sophisticated machinery as well as more expensive creation materials, such as metals. 

Additionally, if the coin itself can only be passed for THB10, it would need to cost significantly less to make it. And, if the forger is selling the coins to clients, he would need to turn a profit while still keeping the price significantly below THB10 per piece. 

Superintendent of Muang district police, Pol. Col. Poomwit Wechkama, said that people could easily tell which coins are fake if they were paying attention. The fake coins weigh less than the genuine versions and the middle of the coin, which should be brass, is simply painted in a brass shade.

Kan inte förstå att det lönar sig att förfalska dessa mynt.

Materialet är ju nästan dyrare än "värdet"

Hej

En märklig historia och den guldfärgade ytan i mitten på myntet sägs ju t.o.m ha målats dit, dessutom var myntet väldigt lätt.

Hoppas man får ett som man kan behålla.
