Counterfeiting-like currency documents: criminal prohibition with fines, disclosure duty for named persons and presumption of authorship. The law criminalises making, using, or delivering any document that purports to be or closely resembles a currency-note or bank-note and subjects such acts to penal fine. Persons whose names appear on such documents must, when lawfully required by a police officer, disclose the name and address of the person who printed or made the document; refusal attracts a greater penal fine. A statutory presumption exists that a person named on the incriminating document or related materials caused the document to be made, unless the contrary is proved.
