Louis B. Colavecchio (January 1, 1942 –) is a American casino fraudster and counterfeiter known as "The Coin". While residing in Rhode Island, Colavecchio defrauded several Atlantic City and Connecticut casinos until his arrest and initial conviction in 1998. He had led a gang which fabricated numerous slot machine coins using rubber moulds of the originals, and was revealed when casinos began to notice a surplus of coins on their gaming floors. Following a seven year imprisonment, Colavecchio was released in 2006. He was re-arrested by the FBI only a few months later having resumed his activities, and release on a $25,000 surety bond.[1] His couterfeiting equipment was auctioned off following his arrest,[2] and crimes were the subject of a documentary series Breaking Vegas from The History Channel, where he was portrayed by Angelo Fierro.
