Re: Photocopying technology making counterfeiting too easy

What always struck me as strange was that small denominations are struck
in metal and large on paper. Reversing that would make counterfeiting a
lot harder (or at least unprofitable) and would make more sense (to me
anyhow, being as the coins I assume are more expensive to produce.)  Do
some countries do this? Or am I missing something?
