The Michigan Penal Code (Excerpt)

Act 328 of 1931

Section 252: Possession of Counterfeit Notes with Intent to Utter as True

In Michigan, it is a serious offense to possess counterfeit notes with the intention of passing them off as genuine. Section 252 of the Michigan Penal Code states that if a person knowingly possesses 10 or more counterfeit notes, bills of credit, bank bills, or notes that are similar and payable to the bearer or the order of a person, with the awareness that they are false, altered, forged, or counterfeit, and with the intent to deceive others by presenting them as authentic, they are committing a felony.

The possession of such counterfeit notes, bills, or bank bills is considered a crime because it aims to harm and defraud others. The punishment for this offense can include imprisonment in the state prison for a maximum period of seven years.

History: The Michigan Penal Code, Act 328, was enacted on September 18, 1931, with subsequent amendments in 1934. Previous laws addressing similar offenses can be found in statutes dating back to 1846.
