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

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? :P

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...

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? :P
