From the internet. Against the law?  |

That will easily fool most of the population. Not a great counterfeit but good enough to fool a cashier at a Mini-Mart.

If I received one in change, I would take the 25ยข loss and use it as a conversation piece, besides, it must cost more than a quarter to make one.

Hard to believe anyone would go to all the effort to counterfeit a 1982 quarter.

Is it just magnetic or is it actually a magnet. Like the one in the ad pic. ( Magicians coin etc.) Try it out on some gold/silver plated jewlery. Worth it if it can detect. Some of these smaller earth magnets sell for $15.00 ea. Could be useful if you buy/sell gold/silver etc. |

An obvious fake, I've seen that one before. Quote:
besides, it must cost more than a quarter to make one. To make ONE yes, but if you make say 100K of them? Say the blank costs you a nickel and the dies $200. If you make one it cost you $200.05, make 10 they cost $20.05 each, make 100 they're $2.05 each. make 1,000 they cost 25 cents each. Make ten thousand they cost 7 cents each, and 100K would cost 5.2 cents each. 10K, that is only two and a half bags, probably not too difficult to get rid of, and represents a profit of $1,800. 100K means a profit of $18,000 but it is going to take quite a while to slowly move out 25 bags of quarters. |

Why would anyone want to make a fake quarter?  |

Why would anyone want to make a fake quarter? See my last post. Once you have the equipment you can strike off 10K quarters ($1,800 profit) in about 3 hours. That's $600 an hour. Fairly decent wages. Do two 3 hour runs a month and that's a $43,200 annual income (with no taxes taken out.) The key is to not get greedy. Keep production runs short and just use the extra to supplement your income and to provide it and you are a lot less likely to get caught. |

I still think that it is just a legitimate novelty item.
