<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3782490, member: 66"]We will probably see the addition of an optically variable image (will show a different image depending on the viewing angle.) The image is made by how the light reflect off a series of engraved lines in the die. Of course if you can determine the shape of the lines, the counterfeiters can reproduce them. Canada, Mexico, Great Britain and Spain have all used this anti-counterfeiting feature and there have been counterfeits made of all of them. So far the optically variable images haven't been as good, and sometimes will only show one image. On the other hand some of the genuine coins that were made for circulation do not show the variable image well either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
