Maybe I am ignorant but it would seem a pain in the arse to forge coins.

Ok for general spending but not really gonna stroll into a shop and buy expensive stuff with them.

Though you could easily pass them off buying lunches or buying tickets if they work fine in machines.

I believe that you can use them in the ticket machines on the tube. A friend told me, you see?
