Can a country print money in the form of another country's currency?

Answer 1

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.
