There is also the fact that selling, buying, and exporting antique coins is illegal in Jordan and carries with it a jail sentence. That of course reduces the chance that a seller takes the risk of dealing with genuine coins. But to Coin Community! Report this Post to the Staff

I've accompanied groups there four times as a tour escort and every time there have been guys with trays of fake coins trying to sell them to the tourists.
