Counterfeit Currency Trading

Question
Is it permissible to trade counterfeit currency, and if it is forbidden, what is its expiation?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: It is not permissible to trade counterfeit currency; due to the deception and betrayal of others and the consumption of their rights. One must return all rights taken from others due to this counterfeiting, and God knows best.
