He added that “Article 283 punishes with imprisonment and a fine or one of them for anyone who promotes or re-handles the counterfeit currency knowing that it is counterfeit, but the penalty for anyone who catches in good faith a counterfeit currency with knowledge of it and then deals with it, his penalty is imprisonment in accordance with Article 284 of the Iraqi Penal Code and imitating the currency means making something false that looks like something true.”
He pointed out that “the meaning of forgery is to change the truth with the intention of cheating in a particular document to harm the public or private interest.”
