<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2278004, member: 15588"]Hm. I can see both sides here. I think any "errors" you make would, as you said, probably be easily detectable and cause no harm. And yes, there's always a chance someone will get a hold of them and cause havoc, but I've seen plenty of people fooled by easy to find two-sided magician coins as well. So, I don't know. I also understand the sensitivity around fakes and counterfeits because they do threaten to undermine the hobby in general, which could decrease people's investments (but I also agree that many coin collectors over-emphasize the money money money over the fun fun fun). So both sides have good points. I'd say follow your own intuitions. You can either follow or ignore the advice given here and do what you want. It does carry some risk, but I'm not sure how ominous that risk really is in the grand scheme of things. I doubt you'll create anything that can compete with the fakes coming out of today's Chinese coin mills. But if you do, there may be jobs waiting for you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
