First, the good news : China is cracking down on counterfeiters ! Now, the bad news : they could care less about anybody's money other than their own. No indication they are cracking down on rare coin counterfeiters. A few juicy tidbits from the article : "The Chinese government may be turning a blind eye to counterfeit merchandise made in China and being sold in other parts of the world, but the Chinese government has had enough of those enterprising individuals who would counterfeit China's own money." =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ "Yes, it is ironic that while China appears to almost condone knock off products and counterfeits of other people's merchandise it has found there is now a cottage industry of people willing to counterfeit their own money." =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ "...police have also been told to crack down not only on those producing and selling these bad notes, but on anyone spending them as well. While in the United States if you should spend a counterfeit bank note by accident the most you might have to face would be confiscation of the note followed by a possible interview by the Secret Service. In China spending such a note might lead to your arrest regardless of your knowledge of the authenticity of the note."[/QUOTE]
