Counterfeiting money has been a problem ever since it was introduced into society. While there are many crazy stories around fake currency, I put together a list of five of some of the craziest counterfeiting crimes that have been committed in the past 20 years.

A fascinating story came out in the past year about a guy named Frank Bourassa from Canada who printer approximately 250 million in fake U.S. money over a few years. Before getting into counterfeiting, Frank Bourassa had a history with crime to make money, including stealing clothing and car parts onto stealing and selling actual cars.

After a one-month investigation, Abilene police have arrested 10 people in connection with a counterfeit money ring. Six of them have been charged with third-degree felony forgery.
