Counterfeiting is an offense which may be prosecuted in state or federal court, with varying penalties that may be enforced. Under Georgia law, counterfeiting is a felony offense and may be punishable by 1 to 5 or 10 years in state prison, depending on whether it is charged in the first or second degree. Federal sentencing guidelines may enforce harsher penalties upon a conviction for counterfeiting, particularly if currency was the item that was illegally replicated.

What is counterfeiting?

Counterfeiting involves the act of forging (creating a false replica or copy of) an item, most often for the offender's personal gain. Virtually any item of value may be subject to counterfeiting. In the past, currency was usually the object of counterfeiting. Today, counterfeiting is committed regarding designer goods, jewelry, watches, financial documents, legal documents, and much more. Counterfeiting may be closely related to forgery, credit card fraud, identity theft, and other forms of fraud. In creating a replica of an item or document, the offender would do so with the purpose of passing it off as genuine.
