Check your change

by Loraine Gostling

Guardia Civil are warning of an increase of Mexican 5 peso coins that are circulating currently. At a quick glance they are almost identical to the 2 euro coins, but are only worth around 24 cents, meaning you are well out of pocket if given one in your change.

This scam tactic is usually quite effective for criminals due the to the high similarity between the coins and they are the same colour and size.
