Forgery is the process of making, adapting, or imitating objects, statistics, or documents, with the intent to deceive. The similar crime of fraud is the crime of deceiving another, including through the use of objects obtained through forgery. Copies, studio replicas, and reproductions are not considered forgeries, though they may later become forgeries through knowing and willful misrepresentations. In the case of forging money or currency it is more often called counterfeiting. But consumer goods are also counterfeits when they are not manufactured or produced by designated manufacture or producer given on the label or flagged by the trademark symbol. When the object forged is a record or document it is often called a false document. In the 16th century imitators of Albrecht Durer's style of printmaking improved the market for their own prints by signing them "AD", making them forgeries.
