<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 402475, member: 12965&quot;]My understanding of the HPA is it went into effect when it was signed into law but it cannot be retroactive, as per countless United States Supreme Court rulings. However, to pass a counterfeit as genuine, even for the purpose of collecting, violates another law so counterfeits made prior to the HPA, do not have to have the COPY stamp but they must be declared a counterfeit when sold or passed on to someone else. If the counterfeit item(s) is/are not declared counterfeit, then the person presenting it as authentic currency can be charged with passing counterfeit currency.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s how I read/see it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: For those who collect the &quot;vintage&quot; counterfeits, marking it COPY ruins the value of the counterfeit so asking someone to take away value on their collection, is going to fall on deaf ears.&nbsp; :whistle:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
