Counterfeiting and destroying banknotes from a legal perspective
Hello Rabbi,
Is creating a perfect copy of a 100 shekel bill and using it prohibited from a halakhic perspective? If so, what prohibition is being violated here? (Apart from the Dina Demalchuta)
And if there is a prohibition here, is destroying my 100 shekel bill considered an act inverse to the act of creating the counterfeit and therefore constitutes a kind of charity to the public from a halachic perspective?
Best regards,

Beyond the Dina Demalchuta, I don't see a prohibition. In general, this reduces the value of money, but one bill is not significant. The categorical decree of course prohibits doing this even though it is only one bill. But I don't think there is a specific section of halakhic prohibition here.
Why is destroying a bill a public good? I'm not an economic expert, but if that were the case, the government would destroy bills for the public good. The amount printed is probably whatever they want it to be.
