Original Arabic silver coin (left) and tin replica
A Münzreplikat is a copy of a circulation coin.
Coin replicas are usually not legal tender (Romania was an exception, where commemorative coin replicas were accepted in payment transactions). Replicas are rarely considered collectibles.

In the United States, the manufacture and import of replica coins - with the exception of antique coins - are only permitted if they are labeled " Copy" .
