Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 03/20/2014 12:28 am To answer the question I think you're asking: yes, they are modern "fantasy dollars" from China. We've seen them quite a few times on the forum before over the years. Really really old thread.. Old thread. Recent thread. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/20/2014 2:40 pm They ae often found with other crude fakes from China that started appearing around 2000 but this design is actually much older. I first ran into a report of one of these from the Lebanon (Middle east) area back in 1989. Report this Post to the Staff
awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 03/20/2014 3:07 pm Thank-you all for your as always valuable input, you've helped me learn something new :). And Conder101 all the way back in 1989 0-0, a quarter of a century passes and they still surface arousing suspicion. Thanks again everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
