Penalties prolly very minor, because they're not counterfeiting local money. Just like all the "made in China" dollars.

Seams like a lot of trouble for a dime at a time.

I saw some timers with fifty cents worth of gold in a sealed plastic case. It would take more than fifty cents time to tear one apart. However, they had dozens of 55 gallon barrels of them at the refinery.
Economy of scale.

That's the second one of those I've seen in the past month.

The biggest suprise to me was the lack of reeding, though the 1982 fake quarters dont have reeding either.

Yeah, everybody is hurting these days. And if the money he made was obviously fake and everyone knew at least he wasn't hurting anyone except himself. But like someone else mentioned and he's got a bed, food and shelter maybe he's happier where he is.

 I remember this one that eagle_eye_18 posted. The two counterfeits I'm looking for are this one and a 1944 no MM henning nickel

When I was around nine or ten I experimented by pressing a quarter into a blob of melted soder. The color and weight were close enough, but I soon learned it was completely backwards. Thank Goodness, after that I pursued other ventures.

WOW! I had no idea the Henning Nickel was worth as much as people are selling it for on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1944-Jeffer...em35ece1eda3This nickel does have an interesting story though. DO NOT ATTEMPT: It would be interesting if someone made counterfeit Henning Nickels. Let's say a person made 10 counterfeit Hennings, which is 50 cents to the U.S. Government, and sold these as Hennings to collectors to make money. A collector then catches onto the counterfeit of a counterfeit nickel and notifies the U.S. Government. The Government then arrests the counterfeiter. -Does the counterfeiter then get charged for the minimum of forging 50 cents? Even though he turned the 50 cents into $1000 by selling the 10 nickels for $100 each? -Would the Counterfeit Henning become a collectible because it would have an interesting story as well? I'm really curious what would happen in this circumstance! It just popped into my head. But I'm definitely not dumb enough, or unlawful enough to try.
