What reliable source? Do you mean a bank?Because it was a fake US quarter I got, and it didn't match up with the other quarters I had, but I needed to verify it was in fact, fake, so I took it to a reliable source, who confirmed it was a fake, and therefore illegal. That is a federal crime, and it's my obligation to report it. And I also know where I got it from, but I doubt they made it.
Is it plastic coin - toy? If so, it is not illegal if you don't use to buy stuff.

Why would someone counterfeit a quarter?
I just tested my thermal clothing. It's pretty good, but now I'm cause I just discovered a fake US coin in my chunk of change, and I turned it in and informed the police department. Someone's gonna be in hot water soon.
What did the police say?It was made of metal. Looked real, but not enough to fool me. And it wasn't Canadian, either-- it had the Statue of Liberty on front. Dead giveaway right there

Your bookie?A place that handles money 24/7.
Maybe he gave up a valuable one.It was probably a silver quarter lol again when I worked at Mobil sometimes if people paid with them I could hear the difference when they put the change in my hand (back when I could hear) I'd trade my drawer. I'd take one if my own quarters and out it in the drawer and keep the silver one.

There are real quarters with the Statue of Liberty on the face, and the edges can wear smooth. Usually those are valuable silver/antique coins.It was made of metal.

And the edges were smooth, too. Another sign of a fake coin.
Yup, and the cops would be all "thank you for doing you civic duty, we'll look into it." *puts quarter in pocket after Mark leaves*

I don't have it anymore. It's already been verified as fake, and it wasn't an arcade or subway coin, either. Plus, I highly doubt taking pictures of fake money is permissible, anyways. That could land me in trouble with the Secert Service. I'd rather let the law enforcement community do its job.
