    Well here is your chance, just be very, very careful. While searching evil bay I came across this and thought wow ? This is just a blatant forgery and really it is counterfeiting. I wonder if this is pushing it too far.

    Have a look 250846008001

    For the Perth Stackers this was the one I mentioned at the Perth mint meetup.

    Can anyone remember the email address to send these details to, was it [email protected] ?

    Dunno, it does blatantly say "layered with 999. gold", but it has a $100 legal tender... therefore it's probably illegal :O

    Yeah that was what got me not the layered stuff. $100 denomination with Australia and Lizzies head on it. Looks pretty dangerous to me.
