It is illegal, without U.S. government authority, to take an impression, stamp, or digital image from a tool used to print U.S. money or securities. This also covers tools used to make other tools for that purpose. Anyone who does this can be fined or imprisoned for up to 25 years, or both.

This section covers anyone who, without authority from the United States, takes, gets, or makes an impression, stamp, or digital/electronic image or imprint from — or using — a tool, implement, instrument, or similar thing. That tool must be one that is used, built, or intended to be used for printing, stamping, or impressing a U.S. obligation or security. It also covers tools used to make other tools meant for that same printing or stamping purpose. Anyone who does this can be fined under this title, or imprisoned for up to 25 years, or both.
