Message:: [QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 855531, member: 23874"]One last that does address foreign coins.  No one in the U.S. can legally manufacturer/counterfeit foreign coins.  Likewise, foreign governments can pass similar laws in their own countries (like China) [in reciprocity] to protect U.S. coinage.  So, RLM's example of the Auto Industry is not an analogue example. 18 U.S.C. § 489 : Making or possessing likeness of coins Whoever, within the United States, makes or brings therein from any foreign country, or possesses with intent to sell, give away, or in any other manner uses the same, except under authority of the Secretary of the Treasury or other proper officer of the United States, any token, disk, or device in the likeness or similitude as to design, color, or the inscription thereon of any of the coins of the United States or of any foreign country issued as money, either under the authority of the United States or under the authority of any foreign government shall be fined under this title.[/QUOTE]
