Any type, including counterfeit, is entered under which category?

• A. security
• B. evidence
• C. forfeiture
• D. miscellaneous

Answer: (A)

Categorizing items in records is about placing each item where it fits the function of safeguarding people and assets. Counterfeit currency represents a security risk to financial transactions and against unauthorized use or circulation, so it’s handled as a security matter. Logging it under the security category ensures it’s properly secured, documented, and processed by the right personnel, without mixing it with routine evidence handling or asset forfeiture workflows. Evidence items are tied to proving a crime, forfeiture items are assets seized through legal action, and miscellaneous is for what doesn’t fit elsewhere. So counterfeit notes go under security.
