There’s a group of ancient coin collectors who specialize in ancient counterfeit coins. :^) Nothin’ new under the Sun.

Counterfeiting used to be a capital crime....Sir Isaac Newton was put in charge of stopping counterfeiting in his time and sent some men to the gallows..... Counterfeiting stopped.....
