Fakes Galore - Why Do Governments not Intervene ?

[Photonaware]

If you import counterfeit handbags, perfumes or many other designer branded goods you are prosecuted, fined and can go to jail. If you were to print counterfeit currency notes, advertise on eBay as "unknown" or "may be a copy" and in the text you stated "may not be genuine as I bought a lot and cannot verify so I am starting bidding at a low level", it wouldn't be long before you were contacted by eBay or maybe even the police knocking on your door at 4:00am one day.

Therefore how can this Company get away with blatantly advertising and selling fakes and counterfeit popular silver and gold coins? They even go as far as telling you they are non-magnetic hoping to flood the market with fakes that a magnet would readily pick up. Many of the coins listed are government legal tender so back to the seriousness of this practice. Are the Mints and governments not interested ? eBay doesn't seem to care much and block sellers of this junk. People buying known fakes might try to sell on or even mix them with genuine coins hoping the buyer doesn't notice and so the fakes move around.

AliExpress and these resellers/distributors are based in China, and the government there is notoriously lax in clamping down on this stuff as long as it doesn't affect them domestically

Why don't the governments intervene?

Maybe because they are all fake themselves!

There are no such things as countries and governments of and for the common people any more.

That all disappeared decades ago.

All we are left with is corporations and the leaders of the corporations answer only to the elite globalist plantation owners,
and not to common peasants like us.

And let's face it they have better things to do now than worry about some piddly counterfeit coins.

get yourself a SIGMA, thus fakes will stop then ...

govt has always been on sideline at all times, they're not going to do anything... Especially protecting the vulnerable

Counterfeiting Australian legal tender. Problem is now that there is so much freight and post traffic volume coming in from China that there no way to stop the tsunami of fake garbage from that country.

Australia exported garbage to Indonesia, they will ship them back and dump them at shore, if Australia do that again lol

The company selling the fakes tell you they are fakes? If some "non human" then goes on to sell you some brass plated coin as pure silver it is on them I think. I've personally drilled many items from certain sellers just to make sure, I don't care that a certain percentage of my stuff has holes or other weird marks on them. In the end the weight matters and the purity. If you think something is a collectors item and has some "stamp value" then it is on you to think that.

people are selling everythings, most items have different quality and prices
so for copy or painted items, there is nothing wrong... until somewhere they got the idea to pass it on as genuine item
then there is intention to cheat.
NK likes to print USD and their super notes are as good as the one printed by the fed, well karma. US sanction them, they help US print the USD lol
