There's counterfeiters in real life, too, you know...?

ya but conterfeits are rarely exzact and very hard to make exzact and when they do make them exact its cause they stole the printing mechanisms from the real printers

I do not believe it is possible, from the announcement Jos made when he first introduced them into the game.
However, that doesn't mean a coin can't be named:
"City Currency" and another coin named "City Curency" to LOOK similiar to the other.
Why don't you try and find out?

Anthony's reply is correct: it's not possible to make *exactly* the same coins, but it is possible to make them look similar

I'm... woah wait... I'm... RIGHT? ASTOUNDING!
Let's party.
But there you have it, then, it can't have the same name as another machine in game. Which is weird, in a sense. There could be a machine named "City Currency" somewhere, and you having never heard of it, attempt to create a machine also with "City Currency" and it gives you an error. That would weird me out.
Plus, you know the CHANCES of that happening...

Yes, quite high ... Is that what you mean?

Really?
I thought it was pretty low...
Hmm, unless of course, some characters happen to have the same idea as other characters, that are coincidentially under control of the same player?
