Fake coins totalling more than £4 million have been discovered in a freight container.
Scotland Yard believes the haul is the biggest of its kind recorded in the UK.
A total of £4.1 million in counterfeit coins was seized on Wednesday during raids in Enfield, north London, Hertfordshire and Essex.
Detectives said it was a 'significant blow' to the crime gang behind the scam.
But officers said they believe some of the money produced may already be in circulation.
