<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 38209, member: 57463&quot;]If you are in Germany, then you need to be concerned with German and EU laws.&nbsp; You did not specify that in your question.&nbsp; You mentioned buying a Sackie for $30, so I assumed that you are an American. </p><p><br /></p><p>The law in the USA is very specific.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you mean by &quot;federal agents&quot;?&nbsp; If you mean the BUNDES guys, then, I have no information on that.&nbsp; On the other hand, I do have statements from the U.S. Secret Service that they do, indeed, shut down eBay auctions with counterfeit money for sale.&nbsp; The fact is that there is more crime than they can chase.&nbsp; <b>It is still crime.</b>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Lack of enforcement is not endorsement.</b>&nbsp; As I pointed out when I spoke on the subject &quot;Counterfeits: Threat or Menace?&quot; at the 2004 ANA convention in Pittsburgh, when you are pulled over for speeding -- or in Germany that would would be passing on the right -- you cannot point to all the other speeders in order to get out of the ticket.&nbsp; A five-alarm fire downtown that takes all the cops to the center of the city does not give you a license to rob a jewelry store in the suburbs on the grounds that &quot;no one is doing anything about it.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
