Fake sacagawea

Hi peolple,
think I have a fake coin in my hands need help identify this coin
is a sacagawea 2000-D

the pictures come with the two coins the left is fake I put it to compare

It's a different color
weighs 9 grams
the edge is one color
the side of the eagle is off center
and the details are very poor

confirm if it actually is fake or some kind of coin i dont know

Never seen a fake dollar coin before, there's not much else to identify

I think the weight is enough to say this coin is probably a fake, and crude details are an additional proof.

Usual coins should be 8.1g and yours, which would seem to have circulated, should be a little lighter (something between 8 & 8.1). Yours is heavier.

Anyway that's interesting. You're from Ecuador as I saw in your profile. Ecuador is known to be, as a dollarized country, a popular user of this coin, unlike its original minting country which still prefer its equivalent note (Kenny may confirm US citizens quite dislike coins bigger than a quarter dollar). That won't be surprising to find $1 counterfeits in a dollarized country only (and not only because it's a federal crime in the US).

We have some folk try to use annoying dollar coins in my store. I'm assuming that dollar coins are more popular in Ecuador than in the states, and that they have more value there (only $100s and $50s are faked here, which are easy to spot unless you're a monkey like a few of my coworkers)

thank you very much to all
Ecuador is a dollarized country but since a long time ago, and I've been a collector for along time too, and it's the first time I got a coin of these features, i will put it in my collection lake a fake sacagawea coin.
if I ever find another I will contact again

Citeer: "KennyG"I'm assuming that dollar coins are more popular in Ecuador than in the states, and that they have more.

​And that would explain why the "bond coin" of 1 sucre, made on the former dollar model (size and colour) was finally cancelled, as USA sent a massive amount of them, unlike lower values (even the half dollar, as already low minted, had to be minted in centavos).

PS: who is in charge of Ecuador? there are some lacks in post-2000 coinage as labelled in sucres but the sucre has become a rename of US dollar since then...

Then they have a funny way to spell dollar, namely as S U C R E:
