Isn't that true in the US as well? __________________ -kvasir IACOBVS IV DEI GRATIA REX   09-08-2005, 03:52 PM   #5 (permalink) Corbster Junior Member     Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 28 kvasir, It is illegal if your doing it for deseption or gain. There is a thread on here that explains it better.   09-11-2005, 02:53 AM   #6 (permalink) kvasir Show me the Money**     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Calgary, AB, CA Posts: 167 Quote: Originally Posted by Corbster kvasir, It is illegal if your doing it for deseption or gain.

Where is this thread? __________________ -kvasir IACOBVS IV DEI GRATIA REX   09-11-2005, 09:52 AM   #7 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,580 My Mood: No they aren't....they sell it as a "fake" but if you take it and try to spend it YOU will be the one in jail!

Have Fun Thank You . Roy   03-13-2006, 07:17 PM   #11 (permalink) Just Carl Numismatist   Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 4,472 I liked that article on how they are made. I've got a few of them. A freind of mine has the quarter one but won't sell it to me. Actually I've used my 2 headed Nickel to commit a crime. At work many times we flip for who buys coffee. I usually offer to supply the coin and call heads. Think the coffee police will come get me? For real those dumb things are going up in cost. Now a two heaaded nickel goes for about $10. Got mine for $2 and it paid for itself many times over.   05-02-2006, 08:25 PM   #12 (permalink) SHAWNEE Junior Member   Join Date: May 2006 Location: MD Posts: 3 2 Headed Nickel Quote: Originally Posted by jtwax Is My Two Headed/Tailed Coin Real? .....THE PAGE YOU SUGGESTED DOESNT COME UP....SO YOU THINK THIS IS A TRICK OR MAGICIANS OIECE...AN=MATEUR OF COURSE,,,NEAT THO...I CAN SEE USING IT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF FREE CUPS OF COFFEE APPEAR...RTHANX   05-02-2006, 11:09 PM   #13 (permalink) satootoko Retired   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 5,822 to CoinTalk Shawnee.
