The problem is getting worse by the week.

The lousy and uneven milled edge is the give-away, with the cross on the edge often missing or poorly marked. And when you turn them between your thumb and index finger the faces of the fakes seldom line-up with each other.

Many of the fakes are poorly stamped - way off center, and not at all distinct. And the lettering on the edge is often in a PLAIN typeface that has no SERIF, and is just too sharp.
