It's not so bad except when you get accused of being anonymous. Then you have to fulfill their attack requests with your bot swarms etc.

It can get very tedious actually.

if you are asian

Rule of thumb. Korean uses simple shapes and circles. Chinese looks ridiculously complicated. Japanese is in the middle

An Asian Coin you say? Let me call up my buddy who is an expert in Asian coins, and have him take a look.

Turns out its a priceless artifact from an age long gone. I'll give you 50 bucks for it.

But the expert said it was worth $10,000 ... so i'd like $11,000

 

[TuxDave]

if you are asian

Here's a rough guide.

If you see a circle anywhere, it's Korean
Else if you see long strings of simple chicken scratch, it's Japanese katakana
Else, Chinese

You'll get by 99% of the time with this

This.

+1 on the Korean cafeteria token. The eating utensils give it away.

Would you be able to trade it for a cat then?

Assuming you can get one still living, and the price isn't 500000 of those coins, it could be cheaper to adopt a cat from the cafeteria, than an animal shelter. Hot deal?

If this was Encyclopedia Brown, I would say you can prove the coins are fake because Asians don't use forks, they use chopsticks
