Counterfeit or Not?

These Trump Quarters started turning up in change last week. This one was picked up at the supermarket by Gerald Casale's wife in LA.

Surely these count as counterfeits? So why isn't the Secret Service all over them? Or are they?

Love it Mate.
I am still trying to get my head around just how incredibly stupid the yanks are by having those to cretins up there as presidential candidates out of a choice of 300 million people :dash1:
If I was a yank I would be transferring all my super out of the 401k and 457k accounts somewhere safe so that it wasn't used by Trump.

Looks like at least 170 million of them went for the Trump card. Don't know too much about their affairs over there, but it sounds like they will have a workable parliament at least, unlike our situation here.

We should get rid of our Senate, and all the State upper Houses just as QLD has done, and allow the Government of the day to get on with it. Not happy with their progress after 4 years, kick em out, that's the safety valve.

What a waste of revenue on a bunch of do nothing rubber stampers who just play games with our political system and stagnate the Country.

I just looked up your Royal visit coin in the 22nd edition of McDonald's and this is what is written there :ok:

QuoteThe obverse of this issue was short-listed for the new design of Queen Elizabeth II that eventually went to British designer Ian Rank Bradley.
The Royal Visit Design was the work of in house artist Vlaimir Gottwald.
On the eve of the Queens 13th visit to Australia in early 2000, Royal permission was given for the Gottwald portrait to be used exclusively for this issue

Jim Berry's one on the 1979-82 NZ Commemorative dollars was pretty awful.
