Legal Definitions - false token

A false token is a counterfeit coin, bill, or any other form of legal tender that is not genuine or authentic.

• A fake $20 bill that looks like the real thing but is actually a counterfeit is an example of a false token.
• A coin that has been altered to look like it is worth more than it actually is, such as a penny that has been painted to look like a dime, is also a false token.

These examples illustrate how a false token is a tangible evidence of the existence of a fact, in this case, the fact that the coin or bill is not genuine. It is important to be able to recognize false tokens to avoid being scammed or defrauded.
