I think anything that makes life more difficult for the counterfeiters and sets them back a couple steps is a step in the right direction and so I'm all for it. Report this Post to the Staff
Anjohl Pillar of the Community Canada 815 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 9:14 pm So setting back counterfeiters for a short time is worth setting back the series forever? Report this Post to the Staff

Fat Freddy Pillar of the Community United States 1200 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 9:42 pm What some individuals see as "...setting back the series forever..." will be seen by others as a completely acceptable and overdue evolutionary step necessitated by combatting rampant criminal activity. I'm sure currency collectors lamented watermarks, holograms and fiber strips when those measures were implemented, too, but this is the way things are now . I don't think we should allow rigid adherence to traditional aesthetic purism to serve the benefit and convenience of criminal interests. However - that's just my opinion and anybody who feels that traditional aesthetic purism should be maintained at all costs should communicate their thoughts to the Royal Canadian Mint. I don't make policy decisions for them. Besides -- "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" -- "To each his own..." -- Etc... Report this Post to the Staff

Jerry_B Valued Member Canada 453 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 10:08 pm Fat Freddy, I think that's a good way to look at it. We tend to resist accepting change. But when it comes down to it, if there were no advancements in technology, we'd still be using a hammer to pound out coins. The only GML I have is a 1/10 oz. I wouldn't mind a handful or two of these new ones Report this Post to the Staff
