They've known about it since 2009, yet no one has been arrested?
What's worse is they knew, but kept on buying the fakes! By my calculations, which are rough, they have so far paid the counterfeiters around 1.4 BILLION dollars of our tax money. (But now they are going to try and not pay them the last 5.4 million.)
That assumes they were correct when they said they have redeemed more half dollars than we ever made, and they are only counting the coppernickel clad halves made for circulation. None of the silver, collector, or proof issues. If they are counting those mintages two then that 1.4 billion dollar figure is low.
