Summary/Abstract: The article's purpose is to present partial research results devoted to the issue of criminal liability for counterfeit money or its surrogate and crimes related to such imitation. Partial results refer to the issue of the limits of the statutory threat of criminal punishment invarious European countries. The analysis presented made it possible to distinguish the models preferred by the legislator for determining the criminal sanction for the indicated crimes. Moreover, those variants of sanctions (taking into account the lower and upper limits of the threat) that are most often used in legislative practice were indicated. The considerations led to the formulation of de lege ferenda postulates in terms of modification of the Polish Criminal Law. The research uses theoretical and dogmatic methods of analyzing the legal text of criminal statutes and the comparative law method.
