<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C Jay, post: 1616752, member: 13184&quot;]Danr, that is true and it resulted in the redesign of the FRN notes to counter the copies.&nbsp; My guess is 3D printers will cause the mint to redesign coins with copy safe guards.&nbsp; We may even go bi-metal to prevent forgeries or include very detailed design elements that don&#039;t lend themselves to desktop manufacturing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Side Bar: A friend of mine has a cabinet shop and he bought a $100,000.00 router.&nbsp; He makes custom conference tables and office furniture for corporations.&nbsp; He uses it to route reliefs in furniture.&nbsp; You can take a jpg, run it through the software to create a 3D relief,and then hit print for as many copies as you want.&nbsp; The router carves it into the wood.&nbsp; Very detailed work. Baretta uses the same type of metal cutting machine to make gun parts.&nbsp; I would say that the technology is already in use accounting for some of these high grade Chinese forgeries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
