Counterfeit Money Surfaces After Adelaide Race Meet
A large flow of counterfeit coins remains in circulation with many pieces appearing freshly minted. Florins are most common, but shillings sixpences and threepence pieces appear too. Coins are believed produced in Sydney or Melbourne and distributed by an organized network, with some claims Adelaide may also mint them. At the Grand National meeting the Adelaide Racing Club recovered only three counterfeit florins among £2000 in silver returned to the Union Bank, disproving the idea that racecourses are the main hubs for bad coin distribution.
