Counterfeiting and Forgery

To counterfeit or forge something means to imitate or replicate

When it comes to money or currency the imitated item will have value.

Original Replica

When it comes to most documents an unchanged imitated document has little to no value to fraudsters

Tampering Fraudsters find real value when the content of the document is changed
