[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1390365, member: 112"]What you folks seem to be missing or not understanding is a specific phrase in the law, the underlined and bold one. [COLOR=#ff0000]The[/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000] manufacture in the United States, or the importation into the United States, [B][U]for introduction into or distribution in commerce[/U][/B] of any imitation numismatic item which is not plainly and permanently marked "copy", is unlawful and is an unfair or deceptive act or practice in commerce under the Federal Trade Commission Act [15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.]. [/COLOR]"Introduction of distribution in commerce" means using the numismatic item as money. In other words, using one of those fake SLQ's as a regular quarter - spending it. It is not illegal to sell them as long as you sell them as fakes. But it is illegal to spend them as money, or to sell them as genuine coins. People read the laws and think they mean one thing when they mean something else entirely different.[/QUOTE]
