It got so bad that in 1849 the Netherlands ceased production of their coins entirely and sent a formal diplomatic message to Russia demanding that they stop counterfeiting the Netherlands' coins. So, when you yourself are guilty of counterfeiting somebody else's coins, it is not so hard to imagine that your coins are being counterfeited as well.
