Holding Stock - Original or Copy

Answered by: 

Question: 
Is there a regulation/law for Trust Departments holding common stock certificate's for clients where it must be the physical copy or is a digital scanned copy acceptable to have on file to verify?
Answer: 

A digital scanned copy of a stock certificate is worthless as the original stock certificate could still be negotiated.
