<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 411723, member: 112&quot;]No, I am not referring to a rare coin at all, I am referring to the most common of all coins. The most obvious reason to counterfeit any coin is to use it in commerce - so you can spend it. And the reason is for the profit to be made by doing so.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the dawn of time, the very first coins ever made, they have always been worth less in metal content than the face value. And yes that especially includes gold and silver coins, let alone modern clad coinage. Only in the last few years has the price of copper and nickel exceeded that of the face value of the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can make a quarter for 6 cents and spend it for 25 cents, that is my idea of profit. It only goes up with the larger denominations. In days past there was even money to be made by making counterfeit cents. All so you could spend them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
