Doesn't it? To know for sure we need to take it to the court.

Why? Many countries have quite clear rules what makes acceptable non-real money, so this often can be relatively easily answered.

This usually hinges on intent. The most common money-exchange scam is exactly this: the mark receives a stack of one-sided copies instead of actual currency, and the perp runs away before the mark notices. People have gone to prison for this.

Someone has gone to prison for trying to pass off one-sided copies of actual currency? Seems pretty unlikely to me. Would be interested in reading about an actual case of this happening.
