[QUOTE="cncman, post: 1138471, member: 17256"]Actually this would be more appropriate but note, there has to be intent to defraud and it has to be demonstrated the actor "Knowingly" passed the counterfeit. The honorable thing to do is make it right and take your lumps, criminally not much there, good luck finding a DA to prosecute, the shop could get a judgement in a civil suit, but if it is like most states a judgement means doodly. Hopefully the OP just does the right thing. If they don't have all the money now work out a payment plan; [B]§ 485. Coins or bars[/B] Whoever falsely makes, forges, or counterfeits any coin or bar in resemblance or similitude of any coin of a denomination higher than 5 cents or any gold or silver bar coined or stamped at any mint or assay office of the United States, or in resemblance or similitude of any foreign gold or silver coin current in the United States or in actual use and circulation as money within the United States; or Whoever passes, utters, publishes, sells, possesses, or brings into the United States any false, forged, or counterfeit coin or bar, knowing the same to be false, forged, or counterfeit, with intent to defraud any body politic or corporate, or any person, or attempts the commission of any offense described in this paragraph— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than fifteen years, or both.[/QUOTE]
