Readers Digest used to send fake banknotes and cheques out with their scammo lottery promotions. If you bought one of their books, you were bombarded with their sweepstakes mail all the time and it took basically a court action to get rid of their mailouts. They disappeared from NZ years ago, but may still have a presence in some other countries.
I remember a copy of fake 1700s ducat, cheques printed for 1 million dollars being sent out to my parents in the 80s and 90s, the check said “VOID, VOID” all over it, but they thought it was real. Of course every mail out was promoting some book and there were scratch cards (All rigged to show biggest prize), pamphlets, yes and no envelopes and all sorts of crap.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
