Counterfeit money is imitation currency produced without the legal sanction of the
state or government usually in a deliberate attempt to imitate that currency
and so as to deceive its recipient. Producing or using counterfeit money is a form of fraud or forgery. The business of counterfeiting money is almost as old as money itself:
plated copies (known as Fourrées) have been found of Lydian
coins which are thought to be among the first
Western coins. Before the introduction
of paper money, the most prevalent
method of counterfeiting involved mixing base metals with pure gold or silver.
Another form of counterfeiting is the production of documents by legitimate
printers in response to fraudulent instructions. During World
War II, the Nazis forged British pounds and American dollars. Today some of the
finest counterfeit banknotes are called Superdollars because of their high
quality and likeness to the real US dollar. There has been significant
counterfeiting of Euro banknotes and coins since the launch of the currency in 2002, but
considerably less than for the US dollar
