counterfeit money

counterfeit money
An imitation of real money, produced with the intent that it shall pass as money and be accepted in trade as money. 20 Am J2d Counterf § 2. As the term is used in the Federal statutes dealing with the crime of counterfeiting, the coin to be "counterfeit" must be in the resemblance or similitude or a genuine united States coin. It is not necessary that the resernblance should be exact in all respects. The resemblance is sufficient if the coins are so near alike that the counterfeit coin is calculated to deceive a person exercising ordinary caution and observation in the usual transactions of business. United States v Gellman (DC Minn) 44 F Supp 360.
