Anyone know the legality of trading gold plated coins that are replicas of real bullion coins? My thinking is selling replica legal tender probably breaks some law, Australian bullion coins are legal tender so selling replica bullion coins would be considered the same no?

Sorry, I did search but couldn't find what I was looking for. So yes they are illegal if identical to the bullion coin and make no attempt to distinguish itself from the genuine thing?
It shits me so little is down to clamp down on this crap.
If you see examples of them being sold without the word REPLICA on them, just call the Currency Team at the AFP and report counterfeit currency being sold.
Reporting them on eBay just gets the listing taken down. It is a federal crime to possess or offer counterfeits in Australia - all eBay does is take down the listing, they won't report it to authorities.
