Talk:Counterfeit money

Counterfeit coins from the English Civil War

Hi all, PatHadley (talk) here. I'm the Wikipedian-in-Residence at York Museums Trust (Project pages). I've been working with the numismatics curators uploading images of coins from the Middleham Hoard. The whole set can be found here: Category:Coins from the Middleham Hoard. Of the 5099 coins in the hoard, 54 are now in YMT collections and 35 of these are counterfeit. These are sorted by monarch and exist as subcategories of commons:Category:Counterfeit coins. Perhaps some of these would be useful on this article or elsewhere on related topics? Thoughts, queries and feedback welcome. Cheers, PatHadley (talk) 14:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

"Some of the ill-effects that counterfeit money has on society include[3][4] a reduction in the value of real money"

Are there any actual real citations for this? Scholarly articles or academic research into the effects on economy of Counterfeit Currency?

[4] is a rinky'dink-ass webblog from 2007, which itself it citationless. This is not an axiom to be assumed, and the blog itself says > But modern economies operate mainly on bank-issued credit, not cash. So it is not a case of A therefore B, as with Federal Reserve prints money therefore inflation. Because it is unaccounted for directly.

Coin counterfeiting

I feel that the article could be expanded with more coverage of modern coin counterfeiting and measures to counter it such as Bi-metallic coins. Obviously, fake antique coins are out of scope here but people do counterfeit circulating coins as well. As recently as 2017 the One pound (British coin) had to be completely replaced with a more secure (bi-metallic) design after more than 3% of the old coins in circulation were found to be counterfeit. We could pull in a little content from Coin counterfeiting and link to it. DanielRigal (talk) 20:20, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Penalties by country for creating counterfeit money - wtf?

This is very interesting. I´ve read for example the german law text. This article here says "prison till to 15 years". In the text of law (which is in the quotation) is standing "at least 3 month into prison"... no where is standing about 15 years - so why? have the author invented in his fantasy all the other penalties as well? Congrat - anglophone. You were even more lieing then rest of the world already have thought. 88.66.200.176 (talk) 23:39, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
