<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1618616, member: 39&quot;]Counterfeiting such coins does not make much sense, as the possible profit is not that high. And yet some do it, because most people will hardly ever check the coins thoroughly. Here in the euro area for example 186,000 counterfeited coins were seized in 2010; about three fourths of them being &quot;€2&quot; pieces. However, the total number of (50 ct, €1, €2) coins in circulation is about 16 billion ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, a bimetallic coin is harder to counterfeit. But one of the reasons why the Canadian $2 coin was recently &quot;revamped&quot; (apart from using less expensive material) was to make that even more difficult. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
