Funny.. I thought it was a crime to tamper with currency. Unless you sign your name on a banknote and you happen to be Paul Keating, anyway... :dodgy:

36 people so far have bought this overpriced rubbish at eleven times face value inc. postage.

UN-be-lieve-able. :(

Just goes to show that there are people who will buy any crap that the 'dodgy bros' decide to churn out.

There is no cure for stupidity.

HeHe
This is a new twist on the acetone coins :laugh2:
It is amazing what a bit of nail polish, facelick and greed can do for a coins "Apparent" value.
Like Nevol said "Lots of Mugs out there" :angel:
