Investigating fake one-pound coins given out over the counter by the high street banks.

Dominic Littlewood investigates scams and counterfeit goods. Fake Britain carries out an investigation of fake one-pound coins given out over the counter by the high street banks.

Fake Britain carries out the largest independent investigation ever undertaken in Britain of one-pound coins given out over the counter by the high street banks, revealing how customers are receiving a shockingly high number of fakes. The programme also follows the work of local police, the Serious Organised Crime Agency and the Royal Mint as they join forces to track down the  one-pound coin counterfeiters.

There is also the story of Julie Smith and her daughter Paige from Oldham who were duped by a fake pedigree certificate into buying a very sick puppy.

Plus a vet who used a forged degree certificate went into business near Liverpool - with appalling results.
