<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7892400, member: 19463&quot;]From the standpoint of the forger, plating has to fool exactly one person.&nbsp; That is doubly true if you are skilled in passing them to people not fully familiar with coins (the poor, foreigners etc.).&nbsp; Where genuine coinage is scarce, fourrees might have been acceptable even after they should have been discovered just as the US economy accepted Civil War / Hard times tokens.&nbsp; We really do not know exactly how each of these coins fit into the day to day economy. Not long ago the number being floated was that 3% of UK <font size="5">£1 coins were fake.&nbsp; They changed the design to be harder to fake.&nbsp; In the US, fast food restaurants tend to start looking a paper pills at $10 or so.&nbsp; How many do they refuse?&nbsp; </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
