<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 4851601, member: 76863"]Most people that get a fake coin including tellers will never know. Bills in general are much harder to fake than circulation coinage that just needs to be good enough to pass once and then it’s done it’s job. You can put a lot more security features on bills and develop things that are super easy for the common people to use. The majority of people barely glance at coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The USD is so targeted because it’s the worlds reserve currency and there are governments including ones under sanctions like North Korea putting huge resources into trying to fake it well enough to pass it off. The targeting of that has no barring on what’s easier to fake between bills and coins. Coins are easier and if the coin demonization gets high enough they’d switch the focus to that, the low value is the only thing keeping them away from coins currently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
