I have noticed one more strange thing
On their site they claim that company registration number is 08493818
The company that is registered under this number is "COINFLOOR LIMITED"
proof screeshot http://gyazo.com/a74370f84fa87eec4d879b9c9939dc83

HMRC reg number they claim is 12713897, but on HMRC you will find another company "Coin Floor" with another address under this number...

that simply means Coinfloor LTD has not been registered at HMRC as "Bureau de change".
Both registries are public so I have just confronted the data from both of them and the data from their AboutUS page.
thus, what they claim is not true. think yourself

I think you misunderstood a few things here.

Firstly, HMRC doesn't have publicly accessible companies register. You are talking about Companies House, http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk//companysearch.

Here is what they've got in their register:
Name & Registered Office: COINFLOOR LIMITED
C/O BUCKWORTH SOLICITORS
200 ALDERSGATE, LONDON, ENGLAND, EC1A 4HD
Company No. 08493818
Previous Names:
Date of change 29/05/2013 Previous Name COIN FLOOR LTD

Secondly, there is no company registered under number 12713897, which you mentioned. This is an HMRC certificate number which coinfloor do mention on their site:

Coinfloor is a company registered in England and Wales registration number 08493818. We are a registered Bureau de Change. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs certificate number 12713897. Our company is registered at 200 Aldergate C/O Buckworth Solicitors EC1A 4HD London, United Kingdom.

I guess this is a certificate of money service business registration. However I couldn't find them in the publicly accessible register neither here (the service cease on 31 of March 2013) nor here. Could be just a malfunctioning HMRC service.
