<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2664019, member: 1765&quot;]For me, the &quot;line of gimmickry&quot; hasn&#039;t been crossed with the hologram.&nbsp; There is nothing added to the coin here.&nbsp; It has exactly the same composition as the original silver dollar it was struck on.&nbsp; As far as I know, the hologram was struck into the metal, just like the rest of the features.&nbsp; The RCM (OK, not exactly a gimmick-free organization) did this with their gold maple leaves several years ago.&nbsp; In theory, if I die could be made to last long enough for it to be cost-effective, circulating coinage could be struck to include holograms as an anti-counterfeiting measure.&nbsp; The British 2 pound coins had something close to a very low-resolution hologram in the center of the reverse when introduced in 1997.&nbsp; The grooves just weren&#039;t close enough together to refract the light.&nbsp; Paint, gemstones, and encapsulated Elvis sweat?&nbsp; Gimmicks.&nbsp; Holograms, not so much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
