    Fake Trade Dollars that can be had for $1-$2 are fun novelty items. Just make sure to appropriately label their holders so that future owners won't be mistaken image

    Hmmm.

    I would suggest that in this situation you should respond in EXACTLY the same way that you would if you saw a person eating a sandwich in a restaurant.

    At a show approx. 3 months or so ago, the dealer set up next to me was able to purchase a "notebook" full of fake trade dollars.

    All in holders, in plastic sleeves, in a notebook style book, so to speak. Quite a group, to be honest.

    All fakes, and not presented differently.

    That probably has zero to do with the thread, but after reading the thread, it came to mind. image
