The U.S. Mint is issuing a warning to coin collectors about possible fake buffalo commemorative silver dollars.

The dollars are being sold to raise money for the construction of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC. They have been so popular that Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo.) wants to produce more.

Campbell wrote legislation to authorize the coins. They are a silver dollar reproduction of the historic buffalo nickel.
