[QUOTE="usc96, post: 905643, member: 25676"]What sucks is the counterfeiters know it's wrong, but they do it none the less. I read here ([url]http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins/ig/Chinese-Counterfeiting-Ring/[/url]) that counterfeiting of US and other nations' coins is treated as a legal business. I suspect the penalty for counterfeiting Chinese coins (in that country) would be pretty severe. Death? I can't help but think about all the lead based products that are sold to those outside of China, that I suspect are not sold within their own boarders.
