Anything except legal tender currency (especially Chinese)

In China, if you make any amount of c-feit RMB and get caught by the police, you basically disappear from the planet. If you make counterfeit USD, then you also get caught, although I don't know what the penalty for that would be.

Just the past week, Taiwanese police uncovered a massive RMB counterfeiting ring (most RMB fakes come from Taiwan) who were able to get the plates and print intaglio with even the OVI ink sort of perfected. Here's the news link

These pics have been around for awhile now, doing the rounds of the coin forums and news sites. I think the earliest appearance in English was on the CU forum, here. That was back in March 2008. They're also been posted or linked to here, here and most recently, here.


It's a Greek coin. Apparently the pics originally appeared on a Greek coin forum, and it was a member from Greece that posted them on CU.
