I had purchased more than 5 of these coins reason being that my Father James D. Cleere had been killed in the attacks of Sept. 11 2001. Trust me, When I read this article my first thaught was "What The !@#$ is going on now? I will check further in this company to get more evidents if it proves to be fake if you will. I do have the means to slap such a lawsuit against all involved they wont know what Hit them! ANYONE, that trying to profit on My Dads death can and will be found. My Lawyers and attourneys have have busted quit a few so far. BRING IT ON I Double Dare Ya !

They're as fake as all those people with the American Flag pins on their lapels. It Pops up? that's pretty impressive, a 3D coin.

The coins are fake in that they are not legal tender, they shouldn't be able to label it a "coin" it's just a tacky small piece of metal, covered in a small bit of silver and gold.

i just saw this add on TV a few minutes ago ... they claim "buy the memorial coin before the last remaining traces of silver from the WTC site are recovered" or something to that effect. now THAT is a ridiculous claim. and reason why these people should be executed.

What makes them fake is that they aren't the real WTC.

What makes these coins "fake"? Insensitive? Definitely. Tacky? Uh, yeah. Fake? I'm not so sure.

Just yesterday, I saw a commercial for the dreadful "pop-up" coin on a television station in Philadelphia. It's a shame this company cannot be shut down. Do purchasers of these coins realize what suckers they are? What crooks the "mint" that offers them are? I guess not.
