[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 169720, member: 4381"]Its not as easy to mint coins as it is to print paper, even the complex paper of the US twenty, which is counterfited so much at this point that the government has changed the design nearly every year. After the Lebonese war, Hamas was handing out coutfit US $20s in stacks. The value of the metal is also of import in suppressing counterfiting and I would suggest making the silver 20's more expensive that $20 right from the start and never worry about they price going up. Just keep changing the metal content to reflect a reasonable cost. If people melt them as 10 years, let them melt them. Also, metal coins can be made in a very advanced design driving minting costs way up until they are definetely not worth minting as counterfiet. $20 is worthless ANYWAY. Not only will a counterfiting fascist regiegn need to mint the $20 coin, but they'd still need to corner the silver market. Ruben[/QUOTE]
