Counterfeiting And Forgery In Michigan
In years past, counterfeiting was an offense solely associated with legal tender and a criminal offense punishable by death. Today, what would fall under the definition of counterfeiting would include creating false money, as well as, forging important documents and faking goods like designer watches, purses and jewelry. The penalties for counterfeiting convictions have also changed and involve hefty fines and prison sentences, according to both Michigan state law and federal law.
