	Things you can do with your scrap lead. « on: May 23, 2010, 01:47:46 pm »

Hi All,
I was given a bunch of "oversize" U S coins "copies" , being adventurous as I am ,I thought I would make a mold of the silver dollar coin from a special rubber and see if I could make a decent copy.
As the pix show I did quite well the detail is great and I can make as many as i want "future" detecting finds for some one.
This is not for the faint hearted as we are dealing with molten lead so eye protection and gloves are a "minimum" requirement.
The rubber with instructions can be purchased at hobby stores.
I have for size comparison included a real silver dollar from my collection "not a detector find"..........HH..............Johnnn
The large coin on the left is the original copy made of "white metal"

Be sure to log in from the prison computer and let us know how you're getting along when you get arrested for counterfeiting. The Secret Service doesn't take that lightly, whether it's oversized, undersized, for personal use or for buying a Pepsi. If you're mimicking US currency and they know about it, they'll come after you. Being in Canada won't help you. Now that you've published this on a big forum... they'll be looking for you. Expect black SUVs in your driveway and black helicopters overhead shortly.

Anybody who says "it can't be done" will usually be interrupted by somebody who is already doing it.

LOL! Not long ago a McDonald's employee excepted a $4.00 Bill from a customer.

They went after her for Counterfeiting.

You can't counterfeit what there is NOT!

The coins he is coping are at least 3 time normal size.

It could not be construed as counterfeiting.

The copies are FROM the U S and are generally used for gimmicks and given away with purchases of various furniture items......SO no jail time for me this time.
Knowing that I will continue to mass produce these , and you never know you may dig some up some day.........HH....Johnnn.
oh! these are 3.5" in diameter.........you would have to be one dummy to accept one as currency.
