Hey All.
I am going through a bag of $2s
and came across this Fake $2 Coin.
It was way to easy to spot this one
and it is my First Find of a Counterfeit Coin.
No Effort Made at all on it.
Hope they don't get to much harder to Spot.

I hope they will keep the bar that low with the quality of fake coins. It is too easy to spot it.

Anyway nice find, I would love to have one of this kind in mu collection.

One of the easiest ways to spot these (in the 2003 coins I've seen, anyway) is the positioning of the left hand side of the Queens neck. It should be over the 'E' but is always over the 'L'.

I am just wondering How Much
it would Cost the Chinese to
Produce one of These?
Throw in Cheap Labour & Metal cost,
and with that Make a $2 Coin
that Probably Cost Them 20ct's to Make
at 6.6 Grm's.
