Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 10:27 am This appears to be a manufacturer that will supply forged 2010 Austria 25 Euro coins. I imagine they have other similarly nefarious products. See: http://esun-craft.en.made-in-china....n-C013-.html Posted here for information only, with a strong admonition that nobody should consider actually ordering any of these as in most countries their importation would likely be illegal. The laughable aspect of the product listing is that Australia is conflated with Austria, but the ready availability of such counterfeits is certainly not a laughing matter.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 4:44 pm Let me scare you a bit more. I found this item browsing a directory of Chinese manufacturers/suppliers of coins/medals/tokens. There are 4,583 such firms listed, so I've hardly scratched the surface yet. Consider further how many others beyond these may be operating in the shadows. Edit: In delving farther down the list, the products offered have tended to devolve into keychains and other trinkets whose only relation to coins is that both are made of metal, so perhaps it's not quite as bad as I was thinking. But it's bad enough. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 03/31/2015 1:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 03/31/2015 10:15 pm Wow only 30 cents US per unit. That is great for a 25 Euro coin. You could make a small fortune importing these to pass at face value. There is actually no chance of any legal action until China takes control of criminal activities like these. The US efforts to stop importation are toothless because they rely on the "honesty" of the sellers and buyers to self police. The entire situation is as far as I can see totally out of control. All we can do is to keep beating the drum and spreading the word about forgery. Report this Post to the Staff
