The Counterfeit Chinese Currency Series

A new episode in the series of counterfeit Chinese currency – the Sultan Fuad riyal. The forgery isn't excellent and can be detected by comparing the thickness of the font, especially the number 20, with images of the original coin, or by comparing the same design to smaller denominations. The chain also looks poorly made, with wider eyes than usual on Sultan Fuad coins. Will this riyal flood the markets?

A new episode of the Chinese counterfeit currency series – Sultan Fuad's RiyalThe counterfeiting is not excellent and can be detected by comparing the thickness of the font used to write the letters, especially the number 20, with images of the original piece, or by comparing the same design on smaller denominations. The chain also looks poorly made with eyes wider than usual in Sultan Fouad's coins. Will this riyal flood the Egyptian markets and we see it in Facebook groups just as we see the "two camels" pound?
