So does that mean that "real" ones are worth more, now? :)

I have a counterfeit US nickel. You can see a cartoonish Jefferson profile on it. One day I will take a photo of it and post it. It has the same weight as a real nickel as far as I can tell. What would motivate someone to make fake 5 cent coins?

JerrySpringer, that nickel doesn't happen to be a hobo nickel does it? Many of those have been reworked by "hobos" to make the Native American (or Jefferson) unrecognizable.

Just a thought.
