I'm often asked, "What are the differences between numismatic counterfeits and legal coin reproductions?" Forgeries of genuine ancient and modern coins fabricated to trick and defraud collectors and investors are illegal. Section 2101 of the Hobby Protection Act of 1973 describes requirements for coin reproduction of numismatic items:
"The manufacture in the United States, or the importation into the United States, for introduction into or distribution in commerce any imitation numismatic item which is not plainly and permanently marked "copy", is unlawful and is an unfair or deceptive act or practice in commerce under the Federal Trade Commissioner Act [15 U.S.C.41 et al.]"
Are there legitimate uses for legal coin replicas? Yes, I have found four uses. First, serious numismatic collectors use coin reproductions as substitutes for missing rare and expensive pieces. Often private collectors have valuable ancient coin collections. Due to security and insurance restrictions, they buy legal coin reproductions to keep and enjoy at home. Often smaller collectors of ancient coins cannot afford rare original pieces. Many early and modern coin collectors are unable to 'fill holes' in collections due to price and scarcity. Legal casts or die struck coin reproductions of ancient and modern coins fill collectors needs.
Second, the academic community, scholars, and teachers use specific historical coins to make the physical connection to the history their students study. For example, the Roman 'eid mar' denarius of Brutus celebrates Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 B.C. The story of the "Widows Mite" is more real to the a Biblical student when he holds the a replica of the small ancient Jewish bronze lepton that Mark called a 'widows mite.' Historical replica coin collections of covering historical themes or periods are popular with amateur historians.
Third, theatrical productions use legal replica coins as props in the production of movies; television programs such as the History Channel and Myth Busters; religious Passion plays; and historical reenactments Legal historical coin reproductions have been used as gifts for cast members of Broadway plays.
Fourth, legal coin replicas have commercial uses for businesses, associations, non-profit organizations and governmental agencies. Casts of legal replicas are used in direct marketing, customer gifts and fund raising. Some commercial projects require the production of large quantities of legal reproductions. It is more economical for a private mint to manufacture these pieces in volume. Legal replicas are add-ons to other products. A good example is the inclusion of legal die struck English six pence replicas packaged with Christmas English plum puddings. Die struck coin replicas are used as advertising tokens with a coin obverse (front) showing the legal copy of a historical coin and the reverse (back) presenting a business message. Legal coin replicas are often integrated into the designs of commemorative tokens and coins for businesses and governmental agencies. For example, legal replica Viking tokens were manufactured for use at the settlement Lief Ericsson established in Newfoundland.
Warren D. Smith has been a coin collector for over 30 years. He is a consultant, retailer, and manufacturer of legal coins and tokens for collectors, museum stores, theatrical productions, and businesses.

Debasement by Avery, Iustinus Tim [Paperback] $89.22 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Debasement is the practice of lowering the value of currency. It is particularly used in connection with commodity money such as gold or silver coins. A coin is said to be debased if the quantity of gold, silver, copper or nickel is reduced. For example, the value of the denarius in Roman currency gradually decreased over time as the Roman government altered both the size and the silver content of the coin. Originally, the silver used was nearly pure, weighing about 4.5 grams. From time to time, this was reduced. During the JulioClaudian dynasty, the denarius contained approximately 4 grams of silver, and then was reduced to 3.8 grams under Nero. The denarius continued to shrink in size and purity, until by the second half of the third century, it was only about 2 silver, and was replaced by the argenteus Author: Avery, Iustinus Tim Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 108 Publication Date: 2011/04/15 Language: English Dimensions: 9.02 x 5.98 x 0.26 inches |
