saw this on the YAHOO home page under the most recommended odd news in the bottom right corner. this morning------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spanish shopkeeper finds Homer Simpson euro By Raquel Castillo Fri Aug 8, 2:59 PM ET MADRID (Reuters) - A one euro coin has turned up in Spain bearing the face of cartoon couch potato Homer Simpson instead of that of the country's king, a sweetshop owner told Reuters on Friday. ADVERTISEMENT Jose Martinez was counting the cash in his till in the city of Aviles, northern Spain, when he came across the coin where Homer's bald head, big eyes and big nose had replaced the serious features of King Juan Carlos. "The coin must have been done by a professional, the work is impressive," he told Reuters. The comical carver had not taken his tools to the other side of the coin displaying the map of Europe. So far, no other coins of the hapless, beer-swilling oaf have been found in circulation. "I've been offered 20 euros for it," said Martinez.  |

That is pretty funny. It seems to already be a collector's item.
The downfall is that others, probably quite a bit less artful will be trying it too.

I haven't seen the coin photo yet (blocked at my work pc). What are the odds the coin picture is a photoshopped fake itself, and the coin isn't really an altered euro?

It looks pretty real to me. Would be a pretty good photoshop job if it was one.

I'd like to see the Homer coin in person with a magnifier, to see how he got rid of the original image's hair, for example. I'm still suspicious of the whole thing.
