<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 834303, member: 112&quot;]Sure there is, give them the money to pay for it and they&#039;ll do it. But you better have billions &amp; billions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Consider what you are asking for. First you&#039;d have to have the additional manpower, it would probably require hundreds of people. And not just SS agents, you&#039;d have to have coin experts too so the fakes could be recognized. And you couldn&#039;t do it by using pictures, that would be thrown out of court before you could blink. You&#039;d either have to go see the coins in person (travel expenses blah blah blah), or buy them all (tons of money) so that you could examine them in hand (again tons of money and then what do you do with all those that are not fake ?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Then you have all of the expenses generated by court costs - you know what judges and lawyers get paid an hour ? (more - tons of money)</p><p><br /></p><p>Then you have to pay for the prisons, build new ones because the ones we have are full now,and pay for all of the staff (more tons of money).</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course none of this would even slow down the counterfeiters outside the US borders. They&#039;d just keep on sending them, selling them - and all of the US citizens that got caught importing because they have no idea what they are doing is illegal in the first place would just generate more and more prisons sowe have some place to keep them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course after a while people would catch on that it is illegal to buy (and thus import) these fakesand they would stop. Except for those who don&#039;t care because they think they can get away with it anyway. And they would dream up elaborate methods to smuggle the fakes into the country just like the druggies do.</p><p><br /></p><p>You really want me to go on Matt ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The answer is - there isn&#039;t an answer. Not one that we can afford anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
