I'd have to go back and read the court documents on my cases, since It was quite a while ago and I can't remember which ones got dropped, and which ones stuck.
I have 2 related convictions, forgery, and uttering. IIRC, the forgery was for the counterfeit money, and the uttering was for writing fake checks.
As for how I got caught with the fake money thing:
I was under investigation for dealing, and one tactic the state uses for these kinds of things is called a "trash rip." Basically, since the trash you leave out on the street is automatically public property, they can legally come at 3AM on trash days, grab all your trash, and bring it back to the station and go through it for evidence. They found scraps of printed money, and then called the secret service who handles money couterfeiting cases. Needless to say, the secret service has their investigation game on lock.

Uttering was for stealing checks from people, writing them to myself, and then going to the bank to cash them. One of the stupidest things you could possibly do.
