How to Spot a Fake Kangaroo
Counterfeit 1 oz Silver Australian Kangaroo coins are increasingly common. Use the acoustic verifier above as your first line of defense, then check these key red flags:
- 🚨Incorrect weight (should be exactly 31.1g)
- 🚨Wrong diameter (should be 40.9mm) or thickness (should be 3.5mm)
- 🚨Flat, dull sound instead of bell-like ring on ping test
- 🚨Magnetic attraction (genuine silver kangaroos are not magnetic)
Tip: Sophisticated counterfeits can fool visual inspection alone. Always use the acoustic verifier above alongside precise weight and dimension measurements.
