<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3670930, member: 66"]Very simple, they are manufactured in China where out anti-counterfeiting laws do not apply. China has their own anti-counterfeiting laws, but they only forbid the counterfeiting of Chinese coins, and only those made since 1949 (When the Communists took over.). It DOES NOT outlaw the making of fake coins of other countries. So the manufacture is perfectly legal, and since they can legaly make them they can sell them as well. Now under the Hobby protection act it is illegal for the buyers here to bring them into the country. But unless customs actually opens the incoming package and inspects it they are not likely to catch them coming in. If they do catch a shipment of fakes they have to get an expert to declare them counterfeit at which point they can confiscate them and inform the buyer they had the option to come get them and appeal the decision. If they do show up they are arrested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
