Man jailed over 14m fake £1 coins
Marcus Glindon, 37, from Enfield, north London, made coins over seven years from a workshop near his home. When officers raided his home and nearby business, MG Engineering, in March they found machines used to manufacture coins and counterfeit dies. Glindon admitted counterfeiting the coins . . .

Of the estimated 14 million coins, 2.5 million were
completed while the remainder were left blank, due to be finished off. It is thought that at one stage he was making 10,000 to 12,000 coins per day and was paid about £2,000 in cash a week by the two men. The Royal Mint said it would be extremely difficult
for members of the public to differentiate between
legitimate coins and the fake ones Glindon had produced.
