Reminded of this by Enzyme's story belowWhen the £1 coin was first released back in the 1980's, it didn't take anyone very long to notice that two old design 5p pieces stuck together and painted gold made a coin exactly the same size and colour as the £1. Sadly, shopkeepers quickly caught onto this.
The 2 5p pieces trick didn't work in vending machines as the £1 coin was a different weight, and machines look for both size *and* weight when a coin is put in.
To cut a long story short, it's amazing how much money could be made by two bored chemistry students with access to a lot of 5p pieces, a scalpel, some lead, and the departmental micrometer.
About £20 an hour, to be precise. Not bad for the late 1980's.
