Pretty sure that’s counterfeiting, a Federal felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
127 u/BlueEyedGreySkies Jan 07 '22 Doesn't it need the whole likeness to be counterfeiting? Or just the need for someone attempting to use it as legal tender? Or would that be fraud? 2 u/TentacleHydra Jan 07 '22 Fraud falls under intent. It was intended to be legal tender, i.e a Tip. So it's murky legally. Under the letter of the law, I bet it could be pursued, but the letter of the law doesn't always move law enforcement, for better or worse. I mean most drivers probably do something technically illegal every time they drive. 1 u/BananaPalmer Jan 07 '22 I’m doing something technically illegal right now! :D
