<p>[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 3043356, member: 82388"]I recently read an article in coin world about the mint not doing enough to thwart counterfeiting of its bullion. Some say changing money designs too often reflect instability, which could be true. You and I both know many counterfeit american eagles ( gold and silver) and paper notes are flooding in to the US. To me compared to other countries, our current currency and bullion are too easily counterfeited. So, what do we do? Would you feel comfortable with a polymer note in hand with enhanced security features? Should we abolish the cent and take the money we are losing and invest it in research to make our domestic money more secure? I know Americans hate change in a lot of things, but three times in the last year, the local news station here in rural Kentucky has announced the presence of counterfeit $100 and $20 bills in the community. What do y'all think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
