Questionable Harry Potter coins

In the USA (?) some company is marketing coins described as:

"HARRY POTTER Great Britian 3-Coin Set - DEATHLY HALLOWS
*** Genuine Legal Tender Coin Set ***"

They appear to be prints on one side of old, worthless, United Kingdom 1967 half pennies being targeted at gullable and naive parents describing themselves as "genuine Great Britain half pennies" "recognised by every monetary authority around the world".

Personally I find the value of such items to be highly questionable. Am I just a cynical, miserable old fun-sucker?

Huh legal tender half-penny coins. Wonder who'll buy these.

They really wrote that these duodecimal halfpence are legal tender... Really they should know that they have been demonetized since a looooooong time (unless they know knothing about coin collecting ? Or they want to laugh at newbies and young people    ?) . Even the decimal halfpence are not accepted anymore. That's junk to me, nothing more.

These are vile. Matt...cynical...nah...just a true empiricist.

They have defaced the Queens portrait those coin are a sacrilege.

I never noticed that! In many countries that would be treason (I am not joking).

Nice to know its not just me being cynical. Incidentally, the Isle of Man produced some commemorative Harry Potter Crowns, not circulatory, peculiar, but they are legal tender (in the Isle of Man).

Nieu had Pokemon coins.

Its a shame they arnt circulating coins otherwisese they would be illegal. As much as i dislike them i wouldnt mind getting a set so i could deface thier designs and restore them to their former glory. I'm sure it would be a very satisfying process.
