    already got 2 other threads going on for this, one in bullion, and another in foreign coins.

    Just seeing this story this morning, but it's everywhere now. Horrible.

    Weird denominations. A 1 and 5 dinar gold coin, a 5, 10, and 20 dinar silver coin, and a 10 and 20 dinar copper coin? The gold coins are the SMALL denominations and the copper are the big ones?

    I didn't even look that closely ... I would assume it's because it's a lot easier for them to get their hands on copper than gold.

    Anyone acquiring any of these coins is supporting their agenda.

    There is a brilliant solution to this!

    Once they mint gold coins, why not let the counterfeiters replace them with gold plated lead coins?

    You Must Think This Was One Helluva Funny Comment...Two Separate Chat Boards Got The SAME Post Within Minutes??

    I don't know why I found it so funny that you said the same joke on two boards.

    They probably have a mint or two that could produce them. Long term the materials will be the problem. I don't feel they can keep it going for very long unless they restrike over other coins.
