<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1293011, member: 19463&quot;]The question becomes who and how determines what is covered by such an import restriction.&nbsp; If you buy a $10 coin from a dealer in Spain and the customs inspector gets an idea that it might be one of the increasing number of MOU protected countries and confiscates it, how much are you going to spend to fight for your coin?&nbsp; Yes, I think this will impact Moesian coins as well as Romans of all mints which have been coming from Eastern Europe since the normalization of relations with the former Communist bloc states 20 years ago.&nbsp; As more and more nations get added to the restricted list, it will make it more and more likely that all ancient coins will be delayed, hassled or just plain confiscated.&nbsp; If you must add the costs of lawyers to the cost of coins, it could destroy the hobby in this country at least as far as low value coins go.&nbsp; The big boys will fight for their rarities but who will bother with the little things that get tagged as illegals?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
