Such phenomena as forgery of money and counterfeiting (fake cash letters), which invariably caused harm to monetary system are considered from the standpoint of financial law science. Corruption and money counterfeiting always had destructive impact on monetary circulation. However this article shows that corruption and counterfeiting of money are fundamentally different legal phenomena. The author pointed out that corruption money initially served as one of the main sources of public finance, and in this sense, didn’t abuse the right to issue the money and therefore didn’t require counter measures. On the contrary money counterfeiting as a particular form of corruption money always was a socially dangerous and criminal act, which required the most severe responsibility. This article presents the history of the emergence and development of forgery of banknotes and counterfeiting, both in Russia and abroad, a distinction between those two legal phenomena are made and a variety of ways to deal with them in different historical periods are presented. Currently, in the Russian Federation counterfeiting is defined as a crime in the sphere of economic activity for which the criminal liability is provided. The author analyzes the crime components in this area.
