What to do with fake coins?

thatoneguy

I have a bunch of fake Chinese Candareens, what should I do with them, use them as paper weights, melt them down? Also have a fake '32 Cuban peso.

unfortunately not much. most you can do is keep at a discussion piece or let the kids play with them.i have about 4 Chinese coins that are the same and 3 of the sycee yuan bao.

They could be made into jewelry pieces or mounted in a lucite paperweight or tabletop, or some similar kind of craft project, I guess.

Display as your collection, keeping the real coins tucked away or even better in a Safe Deposit Box.

You could use them to show to other collectors the difference between a real coin and the fake coin. Not everyone is as adept at telling the difference as some of our esteemed colleagues. I keep them to show to my non collecting friends who think that all of my coins are valuable .
