2000 D Dime Counterfeit!

Totally different standard of living down there, a little goes a long way.

Penalties prolly very minor, because they're not counterfeiting local money. Just like all the "made in China" dollars.

I saw some timers with fifty cents worth of gold in a sealed plastic case. It would take more than fifty cents time to tear one apart. However, they had dozens of 55 gallon barrels of them at the refinery.

Economy of scale.

The biggest suprise to me was the lack of reeding, though the 1982 fake quarters dont have reeding either.

Yeah, everybody is hurting these days. And if the money he made was obviously fake and everyone knew at least he wasn't hurting anyone except himself. But like someone else mentioned and he's got a bed, food and shelter maybe he's happier where he is.

wow, so very cool to find.

This is China trying to inflate the USD by producing fake dimes to be nondescript

jk

WOW! I had no idea the Henning Nickel was worth as much as people are selling it for on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1944-Jeffer...em35ece1eda3
This nickel does have an interesting story though.

DO NOT ATTEMPT: It would be interesting if someone made counterfeit Henning Nickels. Let's say a person made 10 counterfeit Hennings, which is 50 cents to the U.S. Government, and sold these as Hennings to collectors to make money. A collector then catches onto the counterfeit of a counterfeit nickel and notifies the U.S. Government. The Government then arrests the counterfeiter.

-Does the counterfeiter then get charged for the minimum of forging 50 cents? Even though he turned the 50 cents into $1000 by selling the 10 nickels for $100 each?
-Would the Counterfeit Henning become a collectible because it would have an interesting story as well?

I'm really curious what would happen in this circumstance! It just popped into my head. But I'm definitely not dumb enough, or unlawful enough to try.
