Nope, they are stamped "copy" so they are just replicas.

So you are saying that these were produced and then somebody crudely stamped 'copy' on them. Seems a bit odd?

American law requires "COPY" to be stamped on replicas before they can be legally sold as such.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Every coin you can think of has been copied, with or without "copy" on it. Be wary!

That stella is most definitely a fake. However, some people kinda like these. Nice conversation pieces at least.
