Yikes!!

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

Indeed this is scary stuff.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

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.
