Counterfeit banknotes, coins, and stamps
It is permitted to sell banknotes, coins, and stamps on Tradera. However, there are restrictions on the sale and production of counterfeit versions.
Why do we have this rule?
Many counterfeits of coins, banknotes, and stamps can violate the law, and therefore we do not allow such items to be sold on Tradera. Swedish legislation must always be taken into account.
