The Forgery and Counterfeiting
Act 28th February 2012
Counterfeiting of Barotseland coins and banknotes
The Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 2012 makes provision for various offences
connected with the counterfeiting of coins and banknotes and the possession of instruments
that might be used for counterfeiting such items.
This Act provides, amongst other things, that it is an offence to (i) make a
counterfeit of a currency note or of a protected coin with the intention of
passing or tendering it as genuine or (ii) to make a counterfeit of a
currency note or of a protected coin without lawful authority or excuse.
It is also an offence for a person (i) to pass or tender as genuine a thing
knowing or believing it to be a counterfeit of a currency note or protected
coin, or (ii) to deliver to another person any thing knowing or believing
that thing to be a counterfeit of a currency note or protected coin with the
intention that the other person shall pass or tender it as genuine.
It is also an offence for a person to deliver, without lawful authority or
excuse, to another person any thing which he or she knows or believes to be
a counterfeit of a currency note or protected coin.
Protected coin is defined, by the Act, as any coin that is: (a) customarily
used as money in any country or (b) specified in an Order made by the
Barotseland Treasury.
Under the Act, the definition of Currency note covers notes that have been
issued in Barotseland and during the time of the Barotseland Government in
waiting that are customarily used as money in the place where they were issued
and are payable on demand. The definition also covers any note that has been
issued in a country other than those listed above and which is customarily
used as money in that country.
A counterfeit of a protected coin or currency note, as defined by the
Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 2012, is:
(a) a thing that is not a currency note or a protected coin but resembles a
currency note or protected coin (whether on one side only or on both) to
such an extent that it is reasonably capable of passing for a currency note
or protected coin of that description; or
(b) if it is a currency note or protected coin which has been so altered
that it is reasonably capable of passing for a currency note or protected
coin of that description.
