Thanks Claire **Q: Are these hollow? If you wanted to carefully put something inside could you? How many grams of powder would one hold? Asking for a science experiment** A: This question sounds extremely dodgy! **Q: Are they a similar weight to real coins - I want to give them to someone in a care home** A: Our coins are lighter than real coins. They are also sized slightly different too. However we have had people comment previously that use them in care homes. **Q: Do they work in drink vending machines? ;)** A: No idea. I imagine the weight wouldn’t work though ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant for rewards and imaginative play *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 October 2025* These fake one-pound coins are absolutely brilliant. They’re really well made and look very realistic, though not identical to real coins, which is ideal for using at home. I first bought them as part of our potty training reward system, and it worked so well! my child loved collecting the coins and trading them in for little treats. Now that we’ve moved past potty training, he uses them for role play, especially for playing shop, and they’ve held up perfectly through all his games. They haven’t worn out or faded, and the quality is excellent for the price. A great little find that’s been fun and useful in so many ways. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As described *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 August 2026* useful for grandchildren learning about money ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not to size of real coin *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 October 2018* Really can't moan, great quality. They arent the same size as a normal pound coin, i get why they can't but if anywhere or a machine accepts these as real ones is their own issue. I wanted to add them to a weight reward chart but they obviously don't fit. I have, however, been able to take them into work and the children now use them during counting games with me. ## Frequently Bought Together - Learning Resources £1 coin (Set of 50) - Learning Resources Two Pound Coins, Set of 50 - Learning Resources UK Money Toy Pack, Multicoloured, 20.1 x 15.5 x 1.3 cm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/64903694-learning-resources-1-coins-plastic-play-money-for-kids-ages](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/64903694-learning-resources-1-coins-plastic-play-money-for-kids-ages) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
