Definition
A person who illegally makes fake copies of money, documents, or valuable items to deceive people.
Etymology
From Old French 'contrefaire' (to imitate), from Latin 'contra' (against) and 'facere' (to make). A counterfeiter makes something 'against' its authentic creation.
Kelly Says
Throughout history, counterfeiters have been among the most severely punished criminals—sometimes even more harshly than murderers—because they threatened entire economies, which is why governments still take counterfeiting incredibly seriously today.
