The reverence many Thais have for Buddhists amulets is not related to precious metals as many are not metal at alk, but to the connection to a particular monk or monastery and wearing one or collecting some respectfully is far more related to their Buddhist beliefs than to protection. Good luck and or merit might be expected but to suggest that protection is the sole value is misleading.

Amulets are not just for protection but are also collected for their rarity after being cast for or by certain revered monks or on special Buddhist occasions etc. and some single ones are valued very highly - eg. hundreds of thousands of baht. It is due to this that replicas are produced for profit.
"Fake" in this context means just they are not original and nothing to do with any perceived protection they might have offered. It is like treasuring and revering a fragment of the "true cross" and paying a fortune only to have it proved that it was made in Taiwan last year.- 4
