They KNOW there&#039;s people in the US that think the plastic packaging make it safer, so they&#039;re all too happy to copy that as well because it makes it harder for someone to tell they&#039;re fakes.&nbsp; you can&#039;t do a weight/dimensions test unless you chop the coins out of the plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is illegal in the US to mint fake bullion coins that aren&#039;t marked &quot;copy&quot; conspicuously.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t mean that there isn&#039;t a sh**load of good counterfeits coming in from china.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t mean that there aren&#039;t people doing making fakes here.&nbsp; Ever hear about the sovereign bust?&nbsp; That happened just this year.&nbsp; On a sidenote, if you like foreign gold, you&#039;re far better off going with 20 francs, or some other type of coin than sovereigns.&nbsp; Sovs are heavily copied and many contain a lower purity of gold, so it&#039;s hard to tell the difference.&nbsp; And I&#039;ve come across some pretty good fakes before as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it&#039;s foolhardy to assume that just because a coin says &quot;one dollar&quot; or &quot;10 yuan&quot; that it is real.</p><p><br /></p><p>just my dos pesos... real dos pesos or not, i&#039;ll leave that to you to decide <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
