      It may not have been intentional. But yes, paying attention is what you should always be doing when making financial transactions of any kind — online transfers, contactless (is the terminal showing the correct amount?), cash: always double check.

      I wouldn’t even assume that whoever handed it to you was scamming you – that may have unwittingly gone through a dozen hands before you were attentive enough to notice.

      I once got 2 pound instead of 2 euros on a convention 2 years ago.

      And ever since I carry this coin as a lucky charm in my wallet.

      One day, by mistake, a waiter gave me 50 lek (Albanian currency) instead of .50€. I took it as a souvenir

      Turn this into something good: now you’ll have already a coin for the supermarket trollies or a locker.

      I used to carry a 1 DM coin for that purpose, until I gave it to a coin collector from abroad, who was visiting our office.

      This happened to my dad in Berlin, and we could not figure out why our locker at Pergamon Museum did not open…

      In my national group, this is a pretty common problem, not just lira but also Polish zloty and Moldovan lei coins. Some of them are business owners, they encounter this often enough to post there.

      I don’t think they were scamming, a lot of people accidentally hand similar looking change over all the time. It’s how I collect different coin currencies lol

      I had some uknown coin that I was using for carts in supermarkt. One day I realized I paid with it in local store, went back to say to the lady, she already gave it away 😂

      I work with international tourists and get a lot of tips, I’ve got a small collection of coins that look somewhat like Euros.

      The 5 mexican peso coin and the 5 Morokkan dirham coin are exactly the size and color of the 2€ one, but noticably lighter.

      1 Turkish Lira is same size as a 2€ coin, but the colors are the wrong way round.

      Me, I assume that there’s not a scam going on (wouldn’t really be worth it, gaining like 1€ per transaction, you’d have to scam 100 people a day to get minimum wage), might be just people using it accidentally until someone notices.

      That happened to me some years ago in a café. I don’t think they were scammers. They didn’t see the difference themselves…someone probably paid with it, might have been a mistake by the person.

      I once got a 10 Franc Coin from France. I have no clue how it ended up as change but I find it most likely that the Bank incorrectly put it in a role of 1€ as change.

      I carry a turkish lira from my vacation and have accidentally paid with it instead of a Euro. Thankfully the bartender noticed and we exchanged coins with a quick laugh

      couple of days ago i got one pound instead of one euro

    23. Fit-Duty-6810 on

      Bro nobody scammed you 1 euro, it was 100% mistake by the cashier

    24. Environmental-Bet235 on

      It’s noticibly lighter than 1 euro even though their shape is same.
