3 cents would have had about the same purchasing power that $1.50 to $2 hs today. Not a lot but not insignificant either. And it would have the advantage of being a small enough amount that it wouldnot undergo excessive scrutiny. SO the chances of passing it undetected were very high. It's kind of along the idea of counterfeiting a $5 or $10 instead of a $100. The $100 is ging to be loked at more closely, and have the detection pen used on it. The $5 or $10 is just popped into the drawer.
