So what do I do with this now?
I found a counterfeit 10-peso coin.
A few nights ago, I was given some change for dinner I had bought. One P10 coin felt a bit weird. It was lighter than the regular P10 coin and its grooves were shallow. I dismissed the idea it was a fake and proceeded with my dinner.
After reading Migs’ warning about counterfeit coins, I suddenly remembered the P10 coin I had.
And so I took a magnet from my ref door. Counterfeit coins have metallic properties, I remember Migs’ entry said.
Well, whaddayaknow?
I wanted to go back to the stall where I had bought my dinner and return this coin. Then again the lady probably wouldn’t have known it was a fake coin… or did she? Oh well, what’s done is done. I should carry a magnet with me everywhere I go now to avoid being a victim of these counterfeit money. P10 is still P10 after all.
YIKES!!! They fake coins now?
Oh no, those fake coins must be circulating around now.
those are definitely not fake magnets - or fake fingernails….:P
good idea on bringing a magnet with you always…just dont get it near your wallet or credit cards
I feel for you. This is, as in “Stranger than Fiction”, a tragedy…or a comedy. At least we don’t have P20 coins. Cheers! =)
