If I made a £500,000 note and try to pass it off as real money would it be classed as counterfeit?

 

Answer tomorrow

I don't think there is such a thing, so no. :thinking:

But if you get someone to take one, I'll give you a twenty for a faker when I get there next week so I can have some serious walking around money. :laugh3:

Yes,you would be locked up for fraud etc..

Well, I suppose that and more! I did that with US currency once, and faced 6 years in fed. prison! Fortunately, the state kept trying me on forgery charges (our bank notes are "signed" by various bigwhigs) - spun their wheels on it, and spared me the electric chair!

Laws in Great Britain might be different, but since our system's oldest institutions were at one time English, we may have similar laws as yours regarding currency. Well, you could try it, and see what happens!:laugh3: (could be exciting!)

EU currency is now preferred??

The answer is A.

Banks make big notes to pass to one another.. one could exist! (usually these are special notes, tho..);)

Oh is that so...

If no such bill exist, then you can't be charged with "counterfeiting", because you have not made a fake "legal tender" , but if someone were to accept that, they should be charged with being a dumbass. :laugh3:

Your correct, as a £500,000 note is not technically a counterfeit, because that word refers to legal tender - and the Bank of England has never issued £500,000 notes.

You've been reading too many bank raid stories :P
