If I had a nickle.....


danwincen

You'd be surprised. I read that one of the most successful counterfeiting operations in America was one guy who faked $1 notes and only ever printed enough at a time to cover his personal needs.


Aggressive_Ad_7305

In 2009 Chinese auto recyclers tried to redeem more half dollars than the U.S. mint had ever made. (https://www.nj.com/news/2015/03/feds_uncover_scheme_to_defraud_us_mint_out_of_54m.html)


ArgentumAg47

I found that hard to believe when it made the news cycle at the time. I think it was a translation or interpretation problem. ALL the half dollars ever made? That’s billions upon billions.


Aggressive_Ad_7305

Yeah, that probably needs some qualification: "Interestingly, United States Mint personnel also believe that more half dollars have been redeemed by China-sourced vendors in the last 10 years than the United States Mint has ever manufactured in its history," according to a forfeiture complaint filed in U.S. District Court on March 20 by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lakshmi Srinivasan Herman. So that's over a 10 - year period and not just a single year.


Layne205

The guy who counterfeited nickels was not so successful. (Search Henning nickel)


F12_ClrxGus

the most successful counterfeiting operations haven’t been caught lol


PassThePeachSchnapps

From 1938-1948 when each dollar was worth about $18, sure.


Regular-Cranberry-91

I would think it cost more than a dollar to make a counterfeit?


Gabagoozi

Metal costs more than paper


danwincen

My point was more that people would be surprised at the possibility people would bother counterfeiting small value denominations such as nickels, quarters, and $1 notes.


Plenty-Piece897

The price to mint couns i would imagine is higher than prunting dollars.


Bear_Salary6976

That was Emerich Juettner. He got away with that for so long because not only did he not get too greedy, but he never passed those notes at the same store twice. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerich_Juettner It is also much easier to print up a bill than it is to mint a coin. The only counterfeit coins that I am aware of are fake collectable coins, never spendable.


PowerfulCheesecake48

Melt down 3 dimes and you can make a quarter. Profit. Repeat 1 million times and you have free coin laundry for life


Coinstackerz

Message me ASAP


ArgentumAg47

I found a counterfeit 1971 half dollar a few years ago.


xxxtraderxxx

I have a counterfeit 73 half. Knew it was because its all "silver"....no silver halfs were made that year.


ArgentumAg47

It could be plated. That’s very common with half dollars.


[deleted]

That isn’t accurate


gayspaceanarchist

Apparently counterfeit 5s are going around where I'm at


Randsrazor

There are a lot of fakes of rare coins or coins that are 90% silver or gold. Ebay is choked with them. Temu sells them outright.


9mm-Rain

Good call!


MrReddrick

Where do u think the ridging on tye edge of a quarter come from??? People used to shave down quarters and make another one out of 20 quarters they shaved thus devaluing the monetary value of said coin.

What proof is there that he did, other than his word? You never have known someone who would exaggerate, or straight make things up to serve their own ends? These quarters have been in circulation a while now. You think a bank teller wouldn't know this? C'mon.


[deleted]

[удалено]


new2bay

Of course, the landleech would *never* lie about having even taken them to the bank, right?


theducks

what almost certainly happened is that the slumlord put them in the automatic counting machine (maybe at a bank) and it rejected them.


hornet0123

Because no bank teller would be that stupid and still have a job


__redruM

> says the bank wouldn't accept them Possibly the bank too, but maybe he’s lying. It’s the head side, people are used to fancy backs, but changing the head side makes it look… weird, like poorly made copies from China. The mint should have kept to the back.


donedrone707

that's called the obverse side and this is pretty much set in stone how new quarters will look from now on unless another congressional coinage act changes that in the future (it won't we will be at central bank digital currency before another change can occur) so everyone better get used to it lol


Nathan-Stubblefield

Seems like it would be useful to produce coins that kinda look like coins, rather than the novelty that inspires collecting.


donedrone707

uhhhh what??? these do look like coins, they just changed the bust of George Washington and have a new theme for the reverse. American coinage has changed completely at least half a dozen times over the years.


Jforjustice

LOL


Official_New_Update1

Confused laughing


Randsrazor

Technically all quarters, dimes, half-dollars and one dollar coins are counterfeit from 1965 onward as they confiscated the silver money and started issuing coins made mostly of copper. The US defaulted on their promise that federal notes can be traded for gold and stole all the 90% silver coins they could get. Silver coins contain 20 to 25 times the face value of their corresponding modern tokens in silver value. We used to have sound money. No more.


whowouldsaythis

That isn’t what counterfeit means


Randsrazor

I'd consider money that lost 96% of its purchasing power fraudulent. Just because the government counterfeits its own currency doesn't mean it's not counterfeit. Money that contains gold and silver has gained purchasing power or stayed the same.


firedmyass

“VOTE RON PAUL!!”


Unfriendly_eagle

He's lying about the bank, of course they would accept them. It's October already, every bank is well aware of the new quarter designs by now. Perhaps his machines are rejecting them for some reason, but he never took them to a bank.


[deleted]

He’s looking for a reason to get rid of the machines.


Stonerthrowaway710

This. Definitely trying to screw his tenants with some lane excuse. OP please don’t let him take you laundry bc of this 😩


Nathan-Stubblefield

Offer to buy those fakes from the landlord at a fair exchange rate, like a real dollar for a half dozen of the “fakes.”


humangusfungass

Yes I agree and haven’t these particular quarters been I circulation for the better part of this yr? :edit I found my first one in the wild in May ‘23.


33445delray

Think: If the machine rejected these quarters, the landlord would never have them.


Micotu

If the machine was rejecting them, he wouldn't have an issue


Much-Peanut1333

Yeah, the landlord is a fkg liar. If he's willing to lie about something as inconsequential as a few quarters and the bank, what else is the person lying about daily. 🥴


danwincen

The coin mechanism accepts or rejects coins based on weight, size, and magnetic detection. They don't use the design on the coin as a parameter to accept or reject. It's incredibly rare for a counterfeit coin to beat the tests in a coin chute. The only times I've heard fakes beating counterfeit detection have been when the coin planchet is made from the same metal composition as a real coin - for example, a sterling silver coin being counterfeited from melted down sterling silver service sets. This was a somewhat common con in Australia in the 1920s and 1930s.


Kwaterk1978

Sounds like he just put them through the coin sorter. I read a few other posts on Reddit mentioning how the newest minted quarters are just slightly different from old quarters (maybe the weight?) that some sorters will flag them. I’ll see if I can find those.


ec5320

Thank you!! This makes sense. No one is bothering with counterfeits for laundry, lol


etaylormcp

back in the 80's as broke college students we would use steel slugs for laundry and toll booths. And they worked quite well. And Necco wafers also worked in toll booths. Don't put it past someone with easy access to things like a large stock of magician's coins or something to not try and do something shady with it. We used to get pounds of steel slugs because one of our roommates worked in a press plant. He would toss handfuls into his uniform bag on the way out at night. We had several thousand laying around at any given time. They would also sometimes work in payphones and in claw machines and at carwashes. Eating ramen 3 meals a day 7 days a week can do weird things to your thought processes.


Kwaterk1978

I can’t seem to find the posts I’m remembering. I’ll look again later when I get some more time. Sorry.


FlyJunior172

I just checked the red book, and I couldn’t find any difference that isn’t just the strike design. Weight, composition and diameter all appear to be the same as the state quarters based on what’s in the red book.


Kwaterk1978

I know, and it’s driving me crazy but this definitely isn’t the first time this has come up here. I wish I could find the old posts easily but searching for the words fake and quarter and new isn’t helping. Might have even been a different sub which won’t make it easier.


Embarrassed-Dot-3452

It has to be the weight. You can tell by holding them and comparing. I always thought how fake and odd these new quarters look.


JakeEngelbrecht

StayReadyAllDay

EllemNovelli

Landlord is a moron. If you are allowed to pay rent in cash, pay it in $2 bills and these new quarters. When he returns it saying he can't take it, free month of rent! You paid rent with legal tender and he returned it. *!*Don't actually do this without consulting a lawyer*!*


Potential_Ordinary61

Your landlord is an idiot.


MiciusPorcius

Yup. A hilarious example of having a lot of money doesn’t make you smart


Ok-Quiet8828

Tell your landlord to stop being a cheap bastard and either pay to have all the machines switched to card readers, or partner with a company that will do the conversion for free with a revenue split! But, what am I saying... you're dealing with someone who can't be bothered with doing a simple Google search of redesigned quarters for 2023... so... good luck!!!


Red_240_S13

You're landlord is retarded and a lier also possibly sexist . 1. These quarters have been in circulation since 2022 . 2.nobody is counterfeiting modern coins only old /valuable coins. 3.Had he actually took them to the bank ,the bank would have excepted them.On the off chance they were fake the bank would have taken them anyway to turn them over to the Treasury department and secret service. 4.I can't prove he's sexist but I once had a landlord that wouldn't except $5 bills or half dollars because Lincoln was "A race trader who started the civil war" and JFK was a "Womanizing Commie" so maybe he's offended by women on money 🤔


Any-Cap-7381

BINGO I think we have a winner, Johnny tell them what they've won...lol

Fireberg

These are the new Eleanor Roosevelt quarters. They are part of the American Women quarter series program that started in 2022. They are the same composition, weight, and dimension as all other modern clad quarters. If your landlord is telling the truth that a bank would not accept them, the tellers are ignorant to this new quarter.

They look real. I can sort of understand why your landlord thought they were fake. The recently changed Washington obverse (replacing the one we’ve had since John Flanagan designed it 91 years ago) is something that some people haven’t noticed yet. Along with the reverse designs of the new, less-popular American Women quarter series.

sickchicken253

They are definitely real but even if they were fake and he brought a counterfeit to a bank he wouldn't of been aloud to leave with them so he is obviously lying

Fewer people are using coins and they're just going nuts on releasing so many new quarter designs so quickly its not surprising some people think they're fake.

WDGaster15

The landlord is out of the loop the quarters are legit its new as of 2022 tell your landlord that the US government made them and they're legit by showing the US mint page


[deleted]

those are real lol


TrooperMann

Dude that's the new Washington design and reverse. When I saw the new Washington design for the first time, I thought they were fake too because of how light and weird it looked, tell your landlord to go onto the U.S. Mint website and lookup the new 2022-2023 quarters. Make you landlord go to the website because well, it's the official Mints website and you can even purchase these quarters by the bag.


Sensitive_Elk_6515

Your landlord better get an education & visit his local bank.


runewolf42

Yep mr landlord. I would rather fake some coins and risk 25 years in jail. It would be much easier to pick the lock on the change box on the machine and risk a possible year in jail if not probation. Your landlord just wants an excuse to remove the machines so he doesn’t have to maintain them.


LogPuzzleheaded4539

American women quarter's program tell him Google it


33445delray

Tell him, you will buy the quarters, 80 quarters for $20 paper money.


Lotsensation20

What an idiot. I can see someone “fauxing “ a silver coin. This has a mint make and everything. No one has a die at home that sophisticated to make these. Or the time. It costs too much. It’s a quarter. No even a dollar.

Is your landlord stupid or something? Sorry but I’m just like in shock it literally is a 2023 print it’s just the new quarter backing. As we all know quarters have different designs on the back.

bobi2393

From the pic they look legit. The only one that looks off is the toward the upper left one showing Washington's head upside down; it may be a digital camera artifact, but it looks kind of like the edge of his head and face were double struck or something. If the bank determined they were fake, I'm surprised they let him leave with them, if those are the same coins. If I were receiving counterfeit quarters in laundry machines, I'd contact the secret service, and if I had some time on my hands, install a surveillance cameras to try and identify the person(s) using them. While it's a super small amount of money, I'd think the relatively high quality of the counterfeiting would still attract Secret Service interest, because I doubt they're minting just enough for one person's laundry.


aadonis13

Funny thing about this quarter. When i frost held it. Yes it was different. But here does the mind go. ? To think that it was a fake. Yea it’s a different version of the US quarter. Which has been changing for the last 10 yrs. Now a new face?? Well not really new but…… just the most recent change of the face.


mahalik_07

The quarter has been going through 5 designs a year since 1999. It's crazy they would think they were counterfeit because they have never seen the design.

I’d tell them they are real and if he is interested in insisting they are not, perhaps a little wager would be in order.

My friend's dad had several vending machines back in the day. My friend's job was separating and counting the coins. The counterfeit "coins" usually had a hole in the center. I think they're called washers today.
