When you produce money illegally
It is highly unlikely.
depends on what you counterfeit..for example: is you counterfeit money then it is illegal.
Typically the local circuit court handles most crimes in a jurisdiction. If the case deals with a federal offense then the federal court system will handle the case. Basic breakdown is as follows: Municipal court: typically traffic and ordinance offenses Circuit court: Misdemeanor and Felony crimes such as battery, homicide, etc. State Federal court: Federal crimes such as racketeering, conterfeiting, crossing state lines while committing a felony, etc. State Appeals court: reviews cases from lower courts to determine proper proceedings and that all legal aspects were dealt with correctly. State Supreme court: usually gets cases that are considered of mass importance and is the main contributor of our "case law".
It depends on whether it has been copy-righted and whether they have permission. For example, the Australian Mint prints money for several countries (under licence) including Australia. These other countries are island nations such as Fiji who don't have the infrastructure to print their own 'high tech' anti conterfeiting money. Many countries 'copy' the basic design of a country that once ruled over them. British money is probably the most copied around the world due to Britain having had the biggest empire. The name of British money has also been copied and the currency Pound, shilling and penny are still used in various countries. The currency Dollar most likely came from the European Dolare (I think it was originally Spanish) and the word is used in many countries including U.S.A.
