    Forgery and Counterfeiting

    • Forgery and counterfeiting are forms of deception or fraud involving the creation of false documents or items with the intent to deceive others.
    • They share similarities, but differ in their specific characteristics.

    • Unauthorized creation or alteration of legal documents, financial instruments, art, or historical artifacts with the intent to deceive or defraud others.

    Types of Forgery

    Physical Forgery

    • Creation or alteration of physical documents, signatures, artwork, or other tangible items with the intent to deceive or defraud.
    • Involves directly manipulating physical objects to create false representations of genuine items.
    • Examples: forging signatures on checks, altering legal documents.

    Moral Forgery
