<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2116533, member: 73165&quot;]This is an interesting point I&#039;d never considered before.&nbsp; Coins are <i>way</i> easier to counterfeit than notes.&nbsp; It&#039;s comparatively easy for anyone with a machine shop to mint coins (anyone who doubts this needs to read <b>Numismatic Forgery</b>), but much harder to print good counterfeits of contemporary currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>The question is: could counterfeit $1 coins be made cheaply enough to be profitable, and well enough to fool people?&nbsp; As I recall, £1 is, and historically has been, quite a bit more money than $1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
