Counterfeiting, Punishments, etc...

The constitution states:

“To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current Coin of the United States;”
Only Congress can enact general laws applicable to all the people, such as outlawing counterfeiting or promoting a national environmental policy.
Counterfeiting is a criminal offense of making an imitation of an article with intent to defraud others into accepting it as the genuine item. The term counterfeit is used most frequently to denote imitations of coined money or of the paper currency of a government or a bank, but it is applied also to other cases of fraudulent imitation, such as spurious trademarks, dies or works of art.
The Constitution also explicitly grants power to define criminal behavior. For example, it gives the federal government the authority to punish counterfeiting, treason, and felonies committed on the high seas (such as piracy) and to govern land areas in the United States devoted to federal uses, such as military bases and national parks. The federal government may also protect itself from harm. Thus it has defined as crimes sedition (inciting dissatisfaction with government), bribery of federal officials, and perjury  (providing false testimony) in federal courts. In federal territories, the federal government has substantial power over criminal matters, a power similar to that retained by states within their own borders.
