291: Buying and selling counterfeit coin
or “This law about buying or selling fake money is no longer in use.”
You could also call this:

“This law about bringing fake money into or out of the country doesn't exist anymore.”

This law is no longer in effect. It used to be about bringing fake coins into New Zealand or taking them out of the country. The government removed this rule on 1 October 2003. They did this by changing the Crimes Act. If you want to know more about why they made this change, you can look at section 15 of the Crimes Amendment Act 2003.
