    It looks like The Things pet parrot.

    And your pitiful and delusional fanhood, and perhaps the need to account for shortfalls in other areas, stops you from applying the same standard to two very similar things. Happy now?

    Sir, if you seriously can't find the all too clear difference between the two circumstances, you have disqualified yourself as anyone worth listening to or bothering with. I don't bother with people with an ideological axe to grind, other than at work. And they PAY me to deal with them. Life's too short to allow it in my hobby.

    And what part of what I said is too hard for you to understand? Take it really slow if need be, but all it boils down to is I feel no sympathy for the man, whose greatest notoriety comes from exactly copying our coinage, when someone else returns the favor by copying him. In fact, I think it entirely fitting that others are doing so, regardless of legal issues, or if you or anyone else feels differently. It's an opinion no better or worse than anyone else's: come down off your high horse, be a big boy for once, and deal with it.

    Try actually reading what I said instead of reading into it and seeing what you want to. Regardless of the fact you disagree, I was quite clear.

    What's going on with this thread, it's not making much sense. Is books causing a nonsensical argument again?

    No, no. It is a fantasy Amero. No one would be fooled by this piece; thus, not a counterfeit. ;)

    Copyright law aside, Carr emulates the official designs from U.S. coinage designed by others. It is absolutely ironic that some of his supporters (not necessarily you) consider his fantasy overstrikes art, yet when someone uses one of his original designs (like he uses someone else's original design on his fantasy overstrikes) the person is accused of making fakes, counterfeits, and/or knock-offs. Why isn't the producer of the new Amero venerated as an artist? To paraphrase Carr, you don't get to decide what art is.

    Apparently eBay thought it was a fake. They have pulled it.

    EBay likely pulled it because of the copyright issues. Unlike works produced by government employees acting in their official capacities/scope of their employment (which are not afforded copyright protection), Carr's design is not in the public domain. That's why I prefaced my other post with "copyright law aside."
