    Looks nicer without the fake antiquing process but I will still pass, nice try though.

    They better watch out, those Tuvaluians aren't going to take this lying down, they won't put up with people using their name to get a quick profit on a product having nothing to do with their country.

    Is this a new plague? More and more new issues is being counterfeit, soon it will be very difficult to make any purchase on eBay - I only guess most will land there sooner or later

    The fake even looks better than the original piece of garbage 'Globs of Limp-puss'....this tells you how hideous the real crap thing is.

    And I'm being kind.

    Thats only because the fakes weren't scotchbrited like the real coins were, get some of those scrubbing pads and some elbow grease...and the fakes will then look just as bad :lol:

    ^ By George, I think you're right! They got the awful design down well enough...it's just the finish they didn't get right.
