Counterfeit Currency and Stamps


UK and Irish law strictly prohibits the sale of counterfeit currency and stamps, and equipment designed to make these illegal products. These laws ban not only counterfeit paper money, but also counterfeit coins, bank notes, bonds, money orders and other securities. UK and Irish law also protects foreign currency and stamps from counterfeiters. Therefore, these counterfeit items may not be listed on eBay.

What about replica coins for collectors?Any "reproduction," "replica" or "copy" coin (UK, Irish or foreign) must be plainly and permanently marked with the word COPY.
