I thought counterfeiting was handled by the feds...when I had my chips made by Paulson, I walked into their offices on Industrial road with my pencil sketch of the shark and a list of the edge spots I wanted...they told me that this was controlled by the Secret Service, as it was akin to manufacturing "cash" (that's why i have the stock PaulSon edge spots; no choice was offered, as they didn't want trouble with the feds...)
I guess there's a distinction between making them and actually cashing them in?????
