<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dannic113, post: 1347132, member: 35203&quot;]The issue with the gold coin on pawn stars is 1) it was gold and they were paying him based on the value of the gold. 2) the counterfeit issue doesn&#039;t come into play if it&#039;s melted down for said gold. The far worse issue here is that even our government cannot decide and stick with conditions of counterfeit coinage or enforcing those conditions. Private and territorial pieces be it Pan Pacifics, Kellogg &amp; Co, or Humberts were used as real money yet they were never minted by our governement and never deemed counterfeit. Despite that more often than not the exact same obverse and reverse images as real U.S. coinage was used. If that&#039;s not the very definition of counterfeit I don&#039;t know what is. Fast forward to today&#039;s times and Liberty dollars same premise yet the govenment struck back and demonized them. The notion of counterfeiting and whether the gov&#039;t. will attack you for producing/having it is dependant on the domestic volitility, mental insecurities, and personal frivolity of whoever is in power at any given point in time. In other words the United States is kind of like the Jack Sparrow of the world. We don&#039;t plan for anything we just make it all up as we go along.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
