Specifically, federal statutes bar the reproduction and sale of currency, government securities and postage stamps. In recent years, statutes have been expanded to include merchandise like CDs, DVDs and trademarked goods like designer handbags.
Penalties for a federal counterfeit conviction depend on the magnitude of the crime, but can include fines and imprisonment, property seizure and restitution. It is critical to be represented by an attorney well-versed in federal criminal laws and the federal sentencing guidelines like the Georgia counterfeiting attorneys at Conaway & Strickler, P.C.
