PPC § 241 — Delivery of coin as genuine, which, when first possessed, the deliverer did not know

Statutory text (English)

to be counterfeit. Whoever delivers to any other person as genuine, or attempts to induce any other
person to receive as genuine, any counterfeit coin which he knows to be counterfeit, but which he did
not know to be counterfeit at the time when he took it into his possession, shall be punished with
imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine to an amount
which may extend to ten times the value of the coin counterfeited, or with both.

Illustration
A, a coiner, delivers counterfeit 2[*] rupees to his accomplice B, for the purpose of uttering
them. B sells the rupees to C, another, utterer, who buys them knowing them to be counterfeit. C pays
away the rupees for goods to D, who receives them, not knowing them to be counterfeit. D after
receiving the rupees, discovers that they are counterfeit and pays them away as if they were good. Here
D is punishable only under this section, but B and C are punishable under section 239 or 240, as the
case may be.
