Poll Question:
Which one do you think is real?

I tried to get the same coin, but I could not. So it is a little unfair.

I don't know if you want replies or just votes, but I say left. If a Panda doesn't have the character Ôª on it somewhere, it's fake. |

Lots of counterfeits out their and they are tolerated by the Chinese gov't, but not any with a currency symbol though.
Don't mess with the government's fiat monopoly. |

You hear all the numismatics complaining about how the chinese are knocking off everything and how they have even managed to have coins look worn. |

Rich is a little whiskey to drink and some food to eat and a roof over your head and a fish pole and a boat and a gun and a dollar for a box of shells. Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

Besides weighing it, check the rim of the coin. It should look like this: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ |

I'd say the right is a fake, Since the chinese don't care about counterfeiting other countries coins, or replicating their own, as long as it doesn't have a yen amount stamped on it |
Trolling is an art. |

Ditto, real chinese coinage will always have face value on it. |

Picked Left coin as the real one. Lettering on the left coin is sharp and distinct. Lettering on the right coin is a little blunt and soft. |

The left one looks like a real coin. The right one looks like a cheap bullion knockoff attempt. That being said, these are not the same coin; it's like comparing apples to oranges (which, actually, are very similar). |
As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?

I will also pick the right as the fake. To me it just doesn't look right. |
