Photos: Al Barry from Three Lions
Some 27 centuries ago a bright Phoenician in
vented money. Even before someone could
borrow it from him, an equally bright Phoe
nician invented counterfeit money, and so began
another ageless struggle between honesty and
greed. The counterfeiter has found a particularly
ripe market in the rare-coin field and, in defense,
collectors have built up the intricate safeguards
shown in these photos. Before paying good money
for an interesting hunk of lead, the amateur should
consult a reputable dealer; he knows all the
ancient tricks and has a few modern ones of his
own to keep things honest.
Official coins are exact in measurements, fakes yary.
Gold coins will survive acid test, gilded coins fade.

Some counterfeiters outsmart themselves by faking
money of little value, like Confederate currency, or
creating originals for which no issue ever existed.
