<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CaptHenway, post: 8333579, member: 13813&quot;]How do you prove intent? When I was working at a coin shop in CHicago we saw a number of counterfeit $100 bills that were printed on bleached out $5 bills. They had a security thread and a watermark of Abraham Lincoln, but you had to know where on the bill the security thread was supposed to be (it varied by denomination) and what watermark a $100 bill was supposed to have. Obviously fraudulent counterfeits, even though &quot;struck&quot; on a genuine piece of U.S. currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to work for Coin World in Sidney, O. At the time Sidney had two aluminum foundries. One of my colleagues had a friend who worked at one of them, and one day the guy showed my colleague a Kennedy half cast in aluminum. My colleague told the guy &quot;YOU CAN&#039;T DO THAT!&quot; and the guy said &quot;Don&#039;t worry, I just wanted to see if I could do it. I&#039;m not going to spend it.&quot; Then an aluminum half showed up in the cash register of a local bar. The Secret Service visited the President of both companies, showed them the coin and said that when they found out which one of the two made it they were going to close it down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
