As a student a dude in Liverpool was selling 50 for £10. A guy I knew lived on them for 3 years. His life revolved around 99p stuff.

Why didn't the dude just spend them himself? Too many fakes for that to be a viable option?

Too many fakes and risk of merchants tipping you off to the police I guess. If you become known as the guy who keeps giving dud coins, you're probably going to raise some suspicions.

Probably easier to disperse the coins and hopefully not let them be traced back to you
