<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 855688, member: 23874&quot;]I think you meant <i>precedent</i>, meaning &#039;case law&#039;, not president.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, you can&#039;t definitively state that based on a single successful prosecution that any and all <i>entities</i> would cease all unlawful activities pursuant to the theory of said prosecution and resultant precedent. If that were the case, we would have very few law violators walking the streets. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please see Secret Service guidance.&nbsp; They seem to feel otherwise, and if you don&#039;t mind, I&#039;ll take their word over yours:<blockquote><p>&quot;Anyone who manufactures a counterfeit U.S. coin in any denomination&nbsp; above five cents is subject to the same penalties as all other&nbsp; counterfeiters.&quot; </p><p><a href="http://www.secretservice.gov/money_law.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.secretservice.gov/money_law.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.secretservice.gov/money_law.shtml</a></p><p><br /></p></blockquote><p>Moreover, the above cited &#039;five cents&#039; provision, as part of 18 U.S.C. § 490 : Minor coins, was revised in 1984 via Pub. L. 98-216, whereby &quot;one-cent and 5-cent coins minted&quot; was replaced with &quot;minor coins coined&quot;.&nbsp; Hence all U.S. coins are applicable, and therefore would be subject to the same penalties as all other&nbsp; counterfeiters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
