Long ago, counterfeiting money used to be punishable by death in the United States. Today, it is a felony offense with a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in state prison, along with fines. Although the U.S. government takes steps to create money that is harder to duplicate, technology advances have given counterfeiters a chance to duplicate far more advanced forms of legal tender than were ever possible before.
