<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksmooter61, post: 26452889, member: 169607&quot;]Appreciate the comments, however no idea on managing the fakes. Here in the States, we have always had more issues with bills than with coins, at a much greater loss if you got stuck with one. </p><p><br /></p><p>I realize the Henning nickel was a thing, but a major outlier. That guy lost money in the process, and then went to prison, for the second time! He first tried with $5 bills, and they caught him almost immediately. I don&#039;t think they had any real effect and I have not heard of any other counterfeit coins that did have any impact.</p><p><br /></p><p>The $1 coins were originally made with the idea they would be heavily used in vending/change machines. The problem was the size, being so close to the quarter, along with the fact they did not stop producing the $1 bills. The use of the new $1 and $5 coins would be similar in that they would primarily be distributed and used in vending/change machines, which can be calibrated to detect/reject the fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
