[QUOTE="SanMiguel, post: 201892, member: 3379"]weird. royal crest souvenirs aren't licensed by the government, and they don't care? maybe brits do things differently. in new york, the city licenses souvenirs with the logos of the NYPD, FDNY, and other municipal organizations and make plenty of profit. if i overprinted dollar bills with the NYPD crest and sold them on e-bay, they'd be very angry with me. what i don't like about this dealer on ebay, is that: 1) he's using computer software to isolate and reproduce certain banknote features 2) he's plastering official government symbols all over the place as a gimmick 3) he takes currency, prints over it, and sells it for 10x face value [B]and most importantly...[/B] 4) his buyers know they're fake, but what happens when those buyers turn around and try to sell them to noobies as genuine errors for $$$$? along with this e-bay seller, i also strongly dislike people who take uncut banknote sheets and chop them up in nontradtional ways. and also people who add chemicals to u.s. federal reserve bank seals to make them change into weird colors. and anybody else who makes these "fake errors". it's a slimy way to make a quick buck. twenty years from now, the note will still be here...the ebay disclaimer won't. someone will eventually fall for it.[/QUOTE]
