Now I have NO plans to do this, but as I stated in another thread, I read, many years ago, that you could legally counterfeit pennies and nickels, but nothing higher. Is this true? And if it is true, is it because you would more likely be losing profit than gaining profit?
No you cannot counterfeit any us coin leagaly. http://www.numismaticenquirer.com/TNE/Henning Counterfeit Nickel.html Rats you beat me to it
countering is illegal, not to mention the value defacing it would do to the current coins in circ......totally thumbs down
Thanks for the info, guys. I had always had my doubts that counterfeiting ANYTHING was legal. One more question though. If they ever do issue $200 bills here in the U.S., would Americans have to turn in all of those spoof George W. Bush novelty $200 bills that were made as a joke, as counterfeit money? I mean, would they be considered a counterfeit? Or just if you tried to use them as a viable $200 bill?
i think as long as you knew that the 200 dollar bill was a novelty and you didnt use it as a real bill there would be no reason to confiscate it. cody
