Here's a fake 2 dollar coin I found recently. Pretty obvious but when handing over coins for a purchase not too many people would look at the detail of the coin. I can't see the collectible value in these coins TCH   |

Nice find! I'm still on the lookout for a fake one. The lettering and hair on yours are pretty dodgy  |

Wow, that is a pretty poor fake. :-)
And there is indeed collector value, but it's probably at about "face" for that one. (I'd collect it, but then again counterfeits are my niche.) :-)

I wonder if this counterfeiter is still in business or is the work of a first year apprentice counterfeiter.

If the federal police ever find who made it I just bet it would cost them more than $2 |

http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2004C00094See section six for fines relating to producing counterfeit coins. The coin hunter: see section 9 for penalties relating to being in knowledgable possesion of a counterfeit coin we might not see you on the forum for the next 10 years. Until then

I lost this coin the other day. If I ever find it I will be sure to hand it into the federal police.
