currency counterfeiting
Illegal bill printing
Currency counterfeiting is the crime of producing fake money with the intent to pass it off as genuine.
This includes manufacturing fraudulent bills or coins, as well as altering real currency to increase its face value.
Governments treat counterfeiting as a serious offense because it undermines public trust in money and can destabilize economies.
The Secret Service was originally established to combat currency counterfeiting.
