Counterfeit
Currency and Stamps
Most countries
strictly prohibit the sale of counterfeit currency and stamps as well
as equipment designed to make these illegal products. Therefore,
these types of items may not be listed on NwMarketplace.
Replica coins may be
listed as long as they are clearly marked "reproduction,"
"replica," or "copy".
All forged stamps,
facsimiles, and reproductions may be listed but need to be clearly

Replica coins are regulated by U.S. federal law, which NwMarketplace
insists its users follow. Any "reproduction," "replica,"
or "copy" coin (U.S. or foreign) must be plainly and
permanently marked with the word COPY. This law, part of the Hobby
Protection Act, protects collectors against fraud or confusion. If
you're listing items in this area, protect yourself by reading
the act.
Replica Paper
Currency. Replica currency is regulated by U.S. federal law. Black

being reproduced. Color paper currency productions may be listed if
they are one-sided and less than 75% or greater than 150% of the
size of the original item being reproduced. For more details, please
