Counterfeiting is an offense closely related to forgery in Arizona law. It involves making a false replica of an item or document for the purpose of using it or selling it as though it were the actual item. Counterfeiting may be charged as a state or federal offense, depending on what is replicated and who is affected. Counterfeiting legal tender or government documents and trafficking counterfeit goods are most often charged as federal crimes. Counterfeiting may relate to the following:

Currency (coins and paper money)
Securities, stocks and bonds
Legal documents (social security cards, birth certificates, marriage licenses, etc.)
Designer goods (watches, jewelry, handbags, clothing, etc.)

Counterfeiting may be related to fraud as well, as a person who creates counterfeit items is most likely attempting to defraud others for personal gain. For example, an offender may create counterfeit goods and try to sell them off as genuine for a great deal of profit.
