Counterfeit Money

History

Example of counterfeit tickets 50000 cruzeiros.

Counterfeiting is probably as old as money itself. Before the introduction of paper money, the most common method of counterfeiting because base metals mixed with gold or pure silver. In addition, individuals 'shaving' the edges of a coin. This was known as "clipping". Although not not itself against the infringement, the exhibitors were able to use these precious metal chips to create counterfeit. A tote is an ancient type of counterfeit currency, in which a core of base metals have been plated with a precious metal to resemble its counterpart in solid metal. Rules often treated harshly with the perpetrators of these acts. In 1162, Emperor Gaozong of Song had promulgated a decree to punish the infringer Huizer to death and reward informants. The English couple Thomas and Anne Rogers were convicted Oct. 15, 1690 for "Clipping 40 pieces of silver." Thomas Rogers was hanged and quartered in Anne Rogers was burnt alive. Extreme forms of punishment were due to actions of the pair being interpreted as a betrayal, rather than simple crime.

United States, counterfeiting was once the death penalty. The paper currency printed by Benjamin Franklin wore often the phrase "to counterfeit is death." The theory behind such harsh punishments was that one who had the skills to counterfeit currency was considered a threat to state security, and had to be eliminated - Another explanation is that the issue of money that people could trust both an economic imperative as well as a prerogative (If available) Royal - so counterfeiting is a crime against the state or rule itself, rather than against the person who received money false. Much more likely was a practitioner of the art even earlier, active in the time of Emperor Justinian. Rather than being executed, when Alexander the Barber was arrested, the emperor chose to use his talents to his own government. [Citation needed]

Modern counterfeiting begins with paper money. Nations have used counterfeiting as a means of war. The idea is to overflow the economy the enemy with false banknotes, so that the real value of money collapsed. Great Britain did this during the War of Independence reduce the dollar Continental. Although this tactic was also employed by the United States during the Civil War, the fake Confederate currency, it was higher quality product to the real thing. [Citation needed]

Instances

An 18th century Pennsylvania Four Pound Note alerts you to the death penalty for counterfeiting

A form of counterfeiting is the production of documents by legitimate printers in response to instructions fraudulent. An example of this is the crisis of Portuguese banknotes of 1925, when the British ticket printers Waterlow and Sons product Banco de Portugal notes of a equivalent to 0.88% of the Portuguese nominal Gross Domestic Product, with identical serial numbers to existing notes, in response to a fraud by Alves dos Reis. Similarly, in 1929, issuance of postage stamps celebrating the Millennium of Iceland's parliament, the Althing, was compromised by the insertion of "1" on the print order, before the allowed value of stamps to be produced (see Postage stamps and postal history Mailing Iceland.)

In 1926, a scandal of major infringement were found in Hungary, when several people were arrested in the Netherlands while attempting to procure 10 million francs of false bills of 1000 French francs which had been produced in Hungary after 3 years, the state-sponsored industrial exploitation of scale counterfeiting had eventually collapsed. The League of Nations' investigation have found grounds for Hungary were to avenge its losses after the First World War Territorial (attributed to Georges Clemenceau) and to use profits from the counterfeiting business to boost militarist ideology revisionist borders. Germany and Austria had an active role in the conspiracy, which requires special equipment. The quality of counterfeit notes was still lower, however, due to the use of equipment by France paper exotic materials imported from its colonies.

During WWII, the Nazis attempted to implement a similar plan (Operation Bernhard) against the Allies. The Nazis took Jewish artists in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp and forced to go to sterling and U.S. dollars. The quality of the counterfeiting was very good, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between true and false bills. The Germans could not put their plan into action and were forced to dump the counterfeit bills into a lake. Most bills were not recovered until years 1950.

Today some of the finest counterfeit banknotes are called Superdollars because of their quality, and the resemblance the U.S. dollar real. The source of the Supernotes is disputed, with North Korea being vocally accused by U.S. authorities. Recently, May 23, 2007, the Swiss government has raised doubts about the ability of North Korea to produce the "Superdollars. Bulgaria and Colombia are also significant sources of counterfeit currency.

There was a rapid growth of counterfeit banknotes and coins since the launch of the currency 2002. In 2003, 551,287 counterfeit euro banknotes and 26,191 coins were removed from the container traffic in the EU. In 2004, French police seized fake € 10 and 20 tickets totaling about 1.8 million two laboratories and estimated that 145,000 tickets had already been circulated.

In the early years of the 21st century, the U.S. Secret Service has seen a significant reduction in the amount of U.S. currency forged as counterfeiters turn their attention to the Euro.

In 2006, a Pakistani government printing press in the city of Quetta was accused of churning out large quantities of counterfeit Indian currency, The Times of India on the basis of the investigation of the Central Intelligence. The notes are then smuggled into India rupee as "part of the agenda of Pakistan to destabilize (the) Indian economy through fake currency," the daily said. The notes are 'supplied by the Government Press of Pakistan (Quetta) free of charge for counterfeiters based in Dubai, in turn, smuggling in India using various means, "the report said. This money would be used to fund terrorist activities inside India. The recent blasts in Mumbai were funded using fake currency printed in Pakistan. [Citation needed]

Impact on Society

Some adverse effects that counterfeit money on society are:

Reduction in the value of money real

Rising prices (inflation) because more money is circulated into the economy - an unauthorized artificial increase of the mass Monetary

Decrease in acceptability (satisfactoriness) money - the beneficiaries may require electronic transfers of real money or payment in another currency (or even payment in a precious metal like gold)

Companies are not reimbursed for counterfeits. Forcing them to increase prices for raw materials

Meanwhile, in countries where paper money is a small fraction of total funds in circulation, the macroeconomic effects of counterfeit currency can be significant. The microeconomic effects, such as trust in Money, however, can be significant.

The anti-counterfeiting

Anti-counterfeiting features on an old $ 20 U.S.

A pound coin and a fake pound coin very worn real part on the left shows poor surface clarity, Reeding irregular and without side lettering. The right part of this damage.

Traditionally, anti-counterfeiting concerned, including fine detail with raised intaglio printing on bills which would allow non-experts to easily spot forgeries. On coins, milled or serrated edges (marked with parallel grooves) are used to show that none of the precious metals was scratched. This test detects the shaving or clipping (Peel off) rim of the room. However, it does not detect sweating, or shaking parts in a bag and collecting the resulting dust. Since this technique removes a smaller amount, it is mainly used on parts most valuable as gold. In the early paper money in Colonial North America, one creative means of deterring counterfeiters was to print the impression of a leaf in the bill. Since the models found in a sheet are unique and complex, they were almost impossible to reproduce.

In the late twentieth century advances in computer technology and photocopying has allowed people without sophisticated training to easily copy currencies. In response, national engraving bureaus began to include new more sophisticated systems such as anti-counterfeiting hologram effects multicolored, embedded systems such as tapes, micro and inks whose colors changed depending on the angle of light, and use design features such as Eurion "constellation" which disables modern photocopiers. Software such as Adobe Photoshop have been modified by their manufacturers to obstruct manipulation of scanned images of banknotes. He has also exist patches to counteract these measures.

For currency U.S. anti-counterfeiting milestones are as follows:

1996 Bill $ 100 receives a new design with a large portrait

1997 50 bill $ Receives a new design with a large portrait

2006 $ 10 bill receives a new design with no oval around the portrait of Alexander Hamilton and colors

2008 $ 5 bill gets a new design with no ovals around the portrait of Abraham Lincoln and colors

The Treasury had no plans to redesign the $ 5 bill using colors, but recently relented after learning some counterfeiters were bleaching the ink off the law and print them in $ 100 bills. Nobody knows not when the $ 100 bill will be redesigned in this format, but the new $ 10 bill (the design was revealed at the end of 2005) put into circulation on March 2, 2006. The $ 1 bill and $ 2 bill is seen by most counterfeiters as having too low a value to counterfeiting, and they have not been reviewed as frequently as higher denominations.

In the 1980s counterfeiting in the Republic of Ireland twice given rise to sudden changes in official documents: in November 1984, a post stamp, also used on savings cards to pay for licenses TV and telephone bills, was invalidated and replaced by another design with a few days notice, due to counterfeiting generalized. Later, the 20 Central Bank of Ireland Series B notes was rapidly replaced because of what the finance minister described as "The forced privatization of printing tickets.

In the 1990s, the portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong was placed on tickets People's Republic of China to combat counterfeiting, as it was recognized better than the generic models on the renminbi notes.

A topic related to that of counterfeiting is the art of money, which is art that incorporates currency designs or themes. Some of these works of art are similar enough to actual bills that their legality is questioned. If a counterfeit is made with intent to mislead, art is not the money - however, the law may or may not distinguish between the two. See JSG Boggs, the American artist known for his hand-made, copies of unilateral U.S. banknotes that passes from the bill's denomination.
