Seoul High Court Decision 85No2937 delivered on December 10, 1985

The appeal is dismissed.

We examine the grounds of appeal.

In light of the reasoning of the judgment below, it is recognized that the defendants made the front and rear sides of the right of 0,000 won issued by the Bank of Korea in a similar size, which is well similar to the authentic paper paper, and thus, according to evidence, the contents of the evidence show that the duplication status is not precise and only black white, which is not objectively true and correct, and it is merely nothing more than that which does not amount to objectively mislead that it is objectively true and correct, and in fact, the defendant's forged currency that the defendants forged cannot be the object of the crime of forging currency and its exercise, and thus, the defendants did not constitute the crime of forging currency and the crime of forging currency.

통화위조죄와 위조통화행사죄의 객체인 위조통화는 그 유통과정에서 일반인이 진정한 통화로 오인할 정도의 외관을 갖추어야 한다 할 것이고( 당원 1985.4.23 선고 85도570 판결 참조) 원심이 확정한 사실에 의하면 피고인들이 만들었다는 위조통화는 그와 같은 정도의 외관을 갖춘것이라고 볼 수 없으므로 원심의 판단은 정당하며, 피고인들이 만든 위조통화의 지질이 진권과 극히 유사하고 그 전후면에 옅은 푸른색계통의 색상이 많아 야간에는 일견하여 일만원권의 진권이라고 믿기에 충분한 것이라 하여 원심판결에 위조통화의 법리오해가 있다고 탓하는 논지는, 원심이 인정한 바도 없고, 기록상 근거도 없는 사실을 전제로 원심판단을 공격하는 것이므로 논지는 모두 이유없다.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
