I've just seen that, they have just said if you find any fakes you should take them to the Police, not many, if any would tbh.

It was a programme called fake Britain, catch up on demand would be your best bet.

What a frustrating programme format - 25:00 in for the results of the coins.

Surely the daily refill thing is living in the past, who cares if a machine is over the back first quid or not? Them thinking that a full machine will fool people into playing it is daft, everyone knows they are filled everyday, and most people know that if its full it means fuck all!

Also, how do these 20p pieces keep on finding there way into the hoppers? you know you've got one the second it hits your hand from the sound, bent engineers sneaking a 80p raise out of us, it would'nt surprise me if this went off quite often, how many different machines does a refill lady fill up a day? i bet she sneaks a few in and pockets the excess.

Yeah, or 10ps...or even 2ps sometimes! It's a joke, but you can't really do anything about it either.
