[QUOTE="doug5353, post: 2143727, member: 73555"]The problem IS China. Regardless of who's running the show, trying to get the Chinese to halt production [[U]at the source[/U]] is a monumental waste of time. Regardless of which nationality "runs the show," the fakes find their way to the U.S., because that's where the money is, as well as the demand. If the U.S. Treasury would confiscate these fakes, instead of fooling around with North Korea, Iran, Libya, and a few others, the business would dry up. I mean, get serious, these ARE mostly fakes of legal tender coins, no great rocket science (or further justification or enabling legislation) needed in this particular case. My guess would be that Treasury has strict orders from the White House to keep "hands off" this enterprise. But it's too late now, the time to act was the day Alibaba (and many others) listed their first [I]historical replicas[/I].[/QUOTE]
