[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 440087, member: 2972"]There's a big difference between doing the right thing morally/ethically and doing the right thing lawfully. Now on to your question: [i]"... how do we today assure that sellers in future generations won't defraud buyers by selling our fake coins, knowingly or unknowingly... A simple notation on a holder simply won't do it."[/i] You can't. All you can do is not defraud anyone yourself. To show you what I mean, take this example... You manufacture a nice fake seated dollar, and true to the law, you stamp "COPY" on the reverse. Who's to say that someone won't use your creation and fill in the word "COPY" and pass it of as a real coin? The point being you can't EVER guarantee future uses of your creations -- you can only control yourself and your actions. And quite frankly, that's the way it should be. Respectfully...Mike (who truly admires your wanting to save future generations from fraud, but questions where those actions would end and what kind of world we would live in if they were implemented)[/QUOTE]
