A doctor collected medical expenses from a patient and used the money to buy a gift box at a department store. However, the clerk discovered that one of the hundred-dollar bills was fake. The doctor was brought to justice on suspicion of counterfeiting currency. However, the prosecutor believed that the technology for making counterfeit currency was becoming increasingly advanced and difficult to identify, and it was not impossible that the doctor had misused the money in a hurry. The doctor was eventually given a non-prosecution decision.
Li Xin, an attorney at Fidelity Law Firm, stated that knowingly using counterfeit currency for the purpose of defrauding others constitutes the crime of counterfeiting currency. In this case, the perpetrator used multiple banknotes, only one of which was counterfeit. The judge found that he was negligent in not noticing the counterfeit and did not intentionally use the counterfeit currency, and therefore waived the charge. If the perpetrator had used only one counterfeit 1,000-yuan note to pay, he would have been more aware of the counterfeit bill, and in this case, he would have been more likely to be found guilty of intentionally using counterfeit currency.
