WHAT IS COUNTERFEITING?
is the act of illegally creating facsimiles of a product,
document, or currency.
A counterfeit is an item that uses someone else’s
trademark without their permission. By making or
selling a counterfeit, criminals seek to profit unfairly
from the trademark owner’s reputation.
HISTORY
Going as far back as the 5th century,
Alexander the Barber was one of the first,
famed counterfeiters. He became so well
known in fact that instead of being punished
by the ruler of that time, Emperor Justinian,
he was instead employed by the state
finance department
HISTORY
Before the introduction of paper money, counterfeiters
such as the English couple Thomas and Anne Rogers
shaved the edges off silver coins to decrease their weight.
The pair met a sticky end. After being found guilty of
treason, Thomas and Anne were hanged, drawn and
quartered, and burned alive respectively.
HISTORY
Mary Butterworth was one of the first
counterfeiters to exploit this, using
starched cloth and a hot iron to transfer
the pattern of a note onto paper, and
then painstakingly inking in the design
with a quill.
