The sales of old banknotes in the live broadcast room are hot, and they are all fakes made by small workshops
In recent years, with the rise of online live streaming, more and more currency merchants have also poured into the field of live streaming. However, the current live broadcast market is very different, the goods are high, and fakes and imitations are common, so that buyers have to remain highly vigilant and choose carefully.
A friend revealed to me that he found a batch of rare old banknotes that sold well and were cheap in a live broadcast room. However, he had doubts about the authenticity of these old banknotes and was desperate for me to identify them.
With a friend's recommendation, I stepped into an online live broadcast room and found that the anchor was promoting a series of renminbi, covering the first to third editions. However, during the live show, I clearly recognized that these currencies were modern imitation fakes. Despite this, the streamer confuses many fans with clever rhetoric, causing them to place orders one after another.
This kind of live broadcast room selling counterfeit coins can be found everywhere on some platforms, and the streamers even sell these imitations as real money. The anchors are highly eloquent and able to skillfully manipulate words, and some trolls add to the atmosphere. These fakes are far inferior to the genuine coins, and combined with the so-called "graded" certified packaging, they have sold an astonishing amount of orders, with orders in the tens of thousands.
It is understood that these fakes are mainly manufactured in small workshops in Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang and other places, and they are characterized by rough paper texture, blurred printing patterns, and some fakes even add a dazzling fluorescent effect. In order to enhance the credibility of counterfeit coins, the makers set up companies with no actual grading capabilities to specialize in so-called "grading packaging" of counterfeit coins.
These live broadcast rooms that sell counterfeit coins are usually teamwork, each performing its own duties, forming a huge industry chain of counterfeiting and selling. Make fake coins in the name of crafts, and then pass off the fake coins as real coins in the live broadcast room**. When some honest netizens point out that these coins are fakes, the anchor will often immediately block them and kick them out of the live broadcast room.
Therefore, for the majority of collectors, when encountering the sale of fake coins in the live broadcast room, we must remain vigilant and jointly resist this kind of counterfeit and deceptive behavior.
