Once they shut down one operation another one opens up, there will be very little jurisdiction to go against the Chinese businessman.

The old adage is true again, if is too good to be true, look twice. I would add think thrice.

Yeah,i was wondering last night where this will all end now that there is a demand for forgeries of all types and a market place to dispose of them.I've been told there is a new range of fake coins appearing on ebay,including Oz.1934/35 Florins,that are very good/excellent in appearance so its caveat emptor in a big way at the moment.

It's high time this issue got some coverage in the mainstream media, perhaps now both of the Mints and the Federal Police will start doing something about it!

When counterfeiters can operate with impunity, and counterfeit items can be sold every day of the week for a profit, there's something wrong.

It's such a shame it takes Today Tonight getting a camera in someone's face to draw a public response though.

Without going into details I was handed one a week before this report! I looked at the person and said I cannot touch that let alone look at it, the reply given was" take it to the bank"
I laughed and said you better do that and let me know what happens in 25 years!
Once again they said its ok it'll pass, my last comment was
I collect bank notes and coins , I think I'd know a fake , and this is poor example and only one I've seen, look at stars half hanging off , wrong colours and to faded for a 2008 note, besides I've held this note same serial numbers and all and last time I saw it the stars only had 7 points , not 8-9"
I turned my back and walked away!
Some people are that stupid in this world they think that everyone's a fool when it comes to money!
I would of loved to take a photo, but was bad enough a saw it, wasn't going to touch it!
Haven't seen him since!
Close to reported location , they were saying it came out of commonwealth banks ATM?
