I recall reading about 3 or so years ago that police busted a counterfeiting operation in Quebec that was making perfect copies of 2 dollar coins. These forgeries were absolutely indistinguishable from the real thing by any measure short of metallurgical analysis.
And the police only found out by accident. Seems the counterfeiter was running his operation in the back of a chop-shop the police had been watching for awhile. When the police went in with warrants to find stolen cars & parts, they stumbled across the minting operation.
