Homer Simpson Euro Coin Turns Up In Spanish Store

A one Euro coin has turned up in Spain bearing the face of Homer Simpson instead of that of the country's king.

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," says Martinez of the defaced coin. "It's an impressive piece of work."

So far, this is the only such coin found in circulation.

"I've been offered 20 Euros ($30) for it," says Martinez, after news of his unusual find spread around the city.

He now carries it around with him, as curious neighbours keep asking to have a look at it.
