<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1733206, member: 26302&quot;]I would reiterate this is a very old Chinese tradition. This is not a slam on the Chinese at all, just an observation from someone who collects and reads about Chinese numismatic history. Kahn covered the exact same thing happening in the 1880&#039;s in China. First foreign coins were faked, then larger silver Chinese coins, then even small silver and bronze coins. Its not something new being perpetuated against America, its simply a longstanding tradition in China. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do think, however, that a firm advertising to fake modern circulating US coins will get more attention than what was previously given to them. The secret service does not take lightly forging of circulating US money. They might be willing to throw collectors under the bus, but they are charged with ensuring the US is not flooded with fake circulating coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
