So I was thinking about counterfeiting American dollars when I did a research on the american quarter and it's makeup... turns out it'd be easier to buy the materials to make molds and cast quarters by the 100. For pure raw material to quarter conversion it costs 5.4 cents which is almost a 470% profit and it's completely undetectable.
Any other methods you guys can think of?

Pressing or stamping would be my option, though that requires a huge machine and insane amounts of pressure. The problem your going to come up against is the weight/colour/detail being less than perfect, even if there is a tiny 1mm mistake it will look massive on such a small object. If you go down the smelting route your going to have to work out cost per watt, its not going to be cheap to melt metal.
Just my 2 cents though...
