Louis Colavecchio: Counterfeit King - Breaking Vegas

Counterfeiting coins isn't easy--it's an art form! Diameter, thickness, magnetism, weight, design, even the precise mix of alloys--every element of the coin must be perfectly replicated. That means taking on the craftsmanship that the U.S. Mint took years to develop, including anti-counterfeiting marks like "hidden grooves" and uniquely serrated edges. Most wannabe counterfeiters quickly realize they're no match for the U.S. Mint--and often satisfy themselves with crude tokens that might stretch their winnings by a buck or two. But not Louis Colavecchio...not by a long shot!

    It seems, Casinos don't want you to win, if casino wins and you loose money then it is ok and if you win then it is a cheating..lol😂

    That is proven repeatedly. Take card counting for instance. It’s not illegal but will get you banned from casinos. There was a guy who spent months studying a roulette wheel. He tracked every spin and where the ball stopped. He fed all that into a computer and determined that certain numbers were prone to come up. By betting those numbers he won a ton of money. The casino had him arrested, at trial he was acquitted as he hadn’t broken any laws
