<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1939781, member: 26302"]Don't you think every counterfeiter probably has made the same argument? I am not saying I necessarily agree with the case, just saying everyone convicted of counterfeiting probably claims their crime isn't such a big deal. To me, putting Lilberty, USA or America, and the denomination in dollars added up to him making something people could easily confuse for authentic US coinage. That is the definition of counterfeiting. If only one of those three things were on the NORFED's, it could probably be overlooked. All three and, in my opinion, it was way too close to authentic US coins. Why was it denominated in dollars? Why did it say USA or America? Why did it have a bold Liberty? The answer, again IMHO, was he WANTED it to resemble US coinage to promote acceptance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
