One in 50 pound coins could be fake according to a Royal Mint. This startling revelation has sparked widespread speculation over what else could be fake. A spokesman said, "I'm fake too, don't believe a word I say about anything, including potholes."
An old lady with a nose for counterfeitery believes she saw a fake bus today and refused to get on it. "I saw it coming a mile off", she said. "It looked just like a real bus but when it got closer, I could tell there was something not quite right about it. Then when the door opened and I looked inside, my hunch was confirmed: the driver was fake as well. In the end, I walked for over 6 hours to the post office, but I'd sooner do that than be seen dead on a fake bus."
How to spot a fake coin:
Check the Queen's head.
How to spot a fake Queen:
Check her husband, if he is grinning inanely whilst being mildly xenophobic, she is probably real.

Chevy chased by a crocodile
Dear Chevy Chase Bank,
I imagine you are asked this a lot, but were you named after Chevy Chase, famous actor from Spies Like Us? He is my favorite actor so it would be an honour to open up an account with his bank. I am based in England but I do have some dollars left over from my trip to Florida when I went to see the crocodiles (they are much faster than they look, no?)
Best wishes,
Gerry Howell
Dear Gerry Howell:
Thank you for your e-mail dated 8/27/2008, inquiring whether Chevy Chase Bank is affiliated with Chevy Chase, the actor. We welcome the opportunity to assist you.
Chevy Chase Bank is not affiliated with Chevy Chase, the actor.
Chevy Chase Bank traces its roots back for over 100 years to the founding of the B.F. Saul Company in 1892 by Mr. B. Francis Saul. The B.F. Saul Company became established as one of the leading mortgage banking companies in the Washington area and survived the great Depression of the 1930’s by offering a diversity of financial services to the real estate industry
In 1969, Mr. Saul founded the Chevy Chase Bank, which began operation in a trailer located at the site of the Bank’s former headquarters on Connecticut Avenue. From its early beginnings, Chevy Chase Bank was an innovator in offering financial services to the public. Originally known as the "Home of the 6% Passbook," Chevy Chase established a reputation as the bank where the consumer could obtain a better value than was generally available.
