I am told (I don't personally know) that the Mandarin symbolic language had no symbols for concepts like "counterfeit" or "copyright" or "intellectual property". They didn't see copying or faking something as a problem. They bragged to the originators about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But those darned Latvians - what's their excuse? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The ANA are not the coin cops. They have no sua sponte enforcement powers. The only tool thay have is to sanction Dealer A if Dealer B brings a specific complaint to them and Dealer A is a member.
