Article on analysing modern counterfeit coins

[Hydatius]

This is a paper I was notified about on Academia.edu and thought some might find it of interest. The section on the surfaces is quite interesting, but the metal analysis section is pretty much useless without comparisons to several ancient coins for comparison. I hope people can access this. It turns out I can't upload PDFs with a message, just photos.
