'''Forgery''' is the act of creating a false version of something. The false version is also referred to as a forgery.
Common targets for forgers include:
*Currency
*Artwork
*Birth certificates
*Driver's licenses (typically to enable underage drinking)
*Lottery tickets (occasionally)
Many experts and systems are in place to reduce losses due to forgery. Usually if the forgery is of something that should be old (like a [[painting]]), experts can examine the materials used to determine if they date from the correct era. Systems in familiar use are the complex ways that paper [[money]] is designed to be difficult to reproduce, and the special markers [[retail]] clerks can use to determine the genuineness of higher denomination bills when presented.
