<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1516633, member: 39&quot;]While I am not familiar with Swedish law, I don&#039;t think these pieces are counterfeits. Whoever &quot;made&quot; them took actual, original 1 krona coins and altered them. Now adding a zero to a banknote might be an illegal manipulation, but these are rather in the Hobo Nickel category, I think. Here <a href="http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/sa-kan-myntet-ha-tillverkats_7437946.svd" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/sa-kan-myntet-ha-tillverkats_7437946.svd" rel="nofollow">http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/sa-kan-myntet-ha-tillverkats_7437946.svd</a> you can see how it was done. In Germany for example such a piece would lose its legal tender status, but putting anybody on trial ... I strongly doubt it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The part that I am not sure of, however, is whether there is anything in Swedish law that makes it illegal to make fun about the head of state in such a way. And yes, of course it would be interesting to learn who made these pieces. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
