Law Enforcement and Prosecution Of Counterfeit Money Distribution Activities In Enhancing National Banking Security

Currency counterfeiting threatens economic stability and public confidence in the Rupiah as legal tender. Law No. 7/2011 and Article 244 of the Criminal Code regulate strict sanctions against perpetrators, but its implementation faces challenges such as sophisticated modus operandi and lack of detection tools. This research uses normative legal methods to examine the relevant regulations and solutions to this problem. The results show the need for consistent law enforcement, public education on the characteristics of genuine money, and the development of detection technology. Cooperation between the government, authorities and the public is key to preventing counterfeiting as a whole.
