11 Aug. 2008

The owner of the grocery shop in the Aviles in the north of Spain has found a one euro coin which had the face of the popular cartoon hero - Homer Simpson on it.

According to the words of the shop owner, Hose Martinez, the coin is professionally crafted and can't be told from a real one.

A usual Spanish euro has the face of the Juan Calros - the king of the country. And the fake shows the bald head, big eyes and potato-nose of the Homer, instead of the serious face of the monarch.

Martinez has already got an offer of 20 euro for this coin.
