I can't begin to imagine the new "error" coins being created in the basements, sheds and garages around the world.

For what it is worth, there is an existing topic for members to vent or discuss what we are doing during the current pandemic.

As for this topic, I am sure criminal and unethical activity will continue, but is it really any different? These people did not have lives already, what has really changed for them?

Who has such time? I find I've got at least less time now than in the past.

For the ones doing it already, nothing. I think has point is that with so many people now having so much time on their hands the number "not having lives" has increased, and some of them may verywell turn to "fabricating" things.

Look at it this way, a lot of the mutilated coins we see are probably the result more of people being bored. And now we have a lot more bored people.

I'm not one of them. I'm way too busy sorting through all the "so called" errors on ebay in search of the real thing!
Rest in Peace

Yes but you folks are collectors. Even bored you aren't likely to go out in the garage and start mutilating coins. But to the bored "great unwashed" to whom a cent is just a cent ("that's not worth anything."), who knows.
