Counterfeit coin, cannot have ____ or more with intent to utter.

• A. 8
• B. 10
• C. 12
• D. 15

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is the quantity threshold that lifts possession of counterfeit currency with intent to utter into the offense of counterfeiting. The statute requires both knowing possession of counterfeit coins and the intent to pass them as real. When the number reaches ten or more, that combination meets the element used to charge the more serious counterfeiting with intent to utter. Possessing fewer than ten wouldn’t meet that threshold, so the charge would typically be different or not proven at that level. The other numbers are simply below the required threshold, which is why they aren’t sufficient. The important takeaway is that intent to utter plus a specified quantity of counterfeit coins defines when this particular crime applies.
