China
Occasionally I purposely buy a fake coin like this Chinese Silver dollar. Came from a local reputable dealer who did not try to pass off as legit. I only wanted the flying dragon image because it is symbolic significance in oriental mythology and its ancient alien connection with the Mayas symbolizing the arrival of beings from outer space. Got it for a cheap $3 although the fake versions typically go for $15 on ebay. There is a collector value on these and some go for $60 even marked as counterfeit. Sometimes if an internet listing looks too good to be true, keep an open mind. The guy who bought my 17 year old Japanese red dragon MC couldn't believe his eyes when it was even better in person than in the picture

Mostly the oriental dragons are considered good creatures like this one from the Nine Dragons scroll in the Boston Museum.

This authentic coin of Emperor Yuan Shikai 1915-1916 certified by PCGS just sold for $5000 on ebay, but I think mine is a better value.
