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.

Choices:

right
left

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.

Picked left.

Deal

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams

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.

I picked left too. Which is the fake?

"Rich," the Old Man said dreamily, "is not baying after what you can't have. Rich is having the time to do what you want to do. 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.

Left is real. Right is fake. No doubt about it!

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?

Possession is nine-tenths of the law.

When I give my two cents, they're always copper!

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