Is it legal to use counterfeit money as defense against burglars and robbers?
<p>I have produced small amounts of counterfeit money, I keep this in a few wallets in a few rooms in my house. When going outside I always have one such wallet with me in case I get robbed. Is using counterfeit money for this specific purpose legal?</p>

<p>Since you don't say which country you're in, it's likely that you're interested in United States law.</p>

<p>You are <em>probably</em> in the clear here, though you're getting close enough to the edge of breaking the law that I wouldn't be confident about not being prosecuted and/or convicted.  The relevant laws in this case appear to be <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/471" rel="nofollow noreferrer">18 USC 471</a>, <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/472" rel="nofollow noreferrer">18 USC 472</a>, and perhaps <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/514" rel="nofollow noreferrer">18 USC 514</a>.  All three of them begin "Whoever, <em>with the intent to defraud</em>...".  It's questionable whether creating counterfeit money as a burglar decoy counts as defrauding the burglar. </p>
