290: Uttering counterfeit coin
or “This law used to be about using fake money, but it's not part of the rules anymore.”
You could also call this:

“This law about buying or selling fake money is no longer in use.”

You are not allowed to buy or sell counterfeit coins. This used to be part of the law in New Zealand, but it was removed on 1 October 2003. The government decided this rule was no longer needed in the Crimes Act 1961.
