Art1.2 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I didn't see anything that tells me why this coin would not also be counterfeited in large quantities. As I recall reading many of the current counterfeits are thought to be issued by governments that have the capability to do large scale accurate copying of coins and such.

ccg Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Very interesting. The microprint, I would think, may result in significantly shorter die lives since you'd probably have much higher odds of stress on the little parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure the North Koreans are working on it as we speak. They had one heck of a time when they came out with the new $100 - and the BEP had the crinkle problem and didn't release the notes - as of yet the Series 2009 notes have still not been released to circulation - only the Series 2009-A. So the North Koreans printed up the new Series 2009 like nobody's business and are sitting on a mountain of currency they cannot circulate. Wanna know why they are getting restive and firing off missiles and sending Dennis Rodman back instead of keeping him hostage - it is because they worked hard on those $100 bills and they cannot spend them. Perhaps they will have an easier time with the pound coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
