Wwyd with fraudulent money

I've got lost down a bit of a rabbit hole and gathered all my change to make sure that i get rid of all pound coins before they are taken out of circulation. Yes very messy and stuff everywhere in my house.

I've found two pound coins that i think are fake.

Im not going to try to spend them as that's illegal, I'll take them to the bank eventually as they have all been shut around here. But it is a bit annoying to feel like I've had money taken from me.

What would you do?

Actually buy spending them you're taking them out of circulation. How do you think the old pound coins are going to vanish anyway? You spend in shop. Shop banks. Bank send old coins back to mint. Done.

What a flawed argument. I can't even.

I guess it is op. How about having some empathy for people who can't afford to just bin money they've been given through no fault of their own? You must really live in a bubble to not get that £2 could mean the difference between eating or not!. But the OP will have been spending fakes for bloody YEARS, th idea that suddenly they are unusable is quite bizarre
