Yes, there are most definitely fake krugerrands in circulation. The best way to verify a fake or real krugerrand is to go to a reputable coin dealer. You can also do some measurements of the coin, a real 1 oz. krugerrand will weigh 33.930g. its diameter will be 32.77mm, and its thickness will be 2.84mm.
