Comment
Many of these coins are found with ground off edges, this was done by criminals to make them become indistinguishable from German one-mark coins () to selling machines. One mark was about 7,000 zlotych in 1990.See this German article in Der Spiegel: http://magazin.spiegel.de/EpubDelivery/spiegel/pdf/13489158
