Producing 'real' fakes

I have heard that the Chinese can legally counterfeit anything that was minted before 1948. That dates from their revolution. The coins after that are illegal, but they don’t enforce the law.

Just being a nit-picking troll.

 

Well we COULD try them in absentia but even if you get a conviction there would be no way to enforce a judgement (unless the counterfeiter decided to visit the US). And they would be free to keep on making and exporting the fakes.
