Re: Not counterfeit tokens!

First, they are too thin, curl up at the edges, wrong weight. And why would someone go to the trouble to imprint a perfect copy of a real token on them? Coin acceptors are not like bill acceptors, they don't look at the artwork on the token. The old ones have channels, rockers, magnets and such to measure the size, weight and metallic content of the token. These pieces are much bigger than an actual token. The token size is about where the outer imprinted ring is on some of them.
