Fake £1 coins - who's got one?

Estimated number of fake £1 coins is higher than previously thought:

OK - so seeing the pic, who's got fakes in their wallet?

Mine has a single £1 coin in the coins at the moment, and it's a fake

I got £8 in pound coins change from a tenner for my pizza slice for lunch, and I'm suspicious about 3 of the coins - they dont have writing around the edges, just an enscribed banding.

However, as said above no-one ever checks pound coins, so its not a massive issue at the moment - although someone somewhere is getting pretty rich off this!
