COUNTERFEIT COINS
Australian “Florins”
CIRCULATING IN NEW ZEALAND
DATED 1927 AND 1931
(Per Press Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. Counterfeit Australian florins, dated 1927 and 1931, have come under the notice of the banks. They can easily be passed and accepted as genuine. They are lighter than the real coins by about a quarter. The nitric acid test is unreliable unless the base metal underneath is exposed.
