Does that look fake to you?

you'd get them, but it is definitely illegal. Fakers do coins because they are ridiculously easy to forge compared to notes.

You might be able to get away with it in shops, but banks would pick up on it. Not worth the trouble, I say.

Edit: and the "coins for sale" posters on his stool look like they've been put on with paint or something - there's no way the police would let him get away with that.

It is printing money, just in coin form. It's a good idea but i don't think it's worth the risk, you will get busted hard if you're caught.

If they where geneune cound then it wouldn't be illegal, but lets be honest we know theyre not real coins.

It's just the same as forging notes, completely illegal, if you knowingly pass them off as real you will get busted big time

There was a guy went to prison a few weeks ago for producing forged coins.
