If you have produced the counterfeit currency, or are knowingly distributing it, you are committing a felony offense which is punishable by law. However, if you have discovered to be in possession of such tender, yet did not create it or were unaware of it, you are innocent.

How is money manufactured?

There are a number of different kinds of money which are manufactured in different ways.
