Counterfeiting currency, or making fake money feel real, is the act of imitating genuine currency or other government-issued documents without the legal authority to do so. The production and use of counterfeit currency is illegal in most countries and can result in severe penalties.
Historically, counterfeit currency has been used to fund criminal activities, such as drug trafficking and terrorism. However, it can also be used to destabilize economies and undermine public trust in government institutions.
