It's more like knock-off clothing than currency. People who are going to buy Gucci bags are not the same people that want the fakes. MTG community is way too small to even compare to clothing brands, so even that is way off. But lol @ using currency analogies. How stupid.

The Chinese will work with you to make anything you may want. If one wanted to they could contact and work with them to produce fakes that pass all the main methods of testing. The older magic cards printed in the early 1990's are easy enough to reproduce. Wizards knows this and that is why they are rolling out holo stamps.
