Answer:

Federal Court

Step-by-step explanation:

Counterfeiting is a crime that consists of imitating something authentic, such as money, clothes, purses, and others.

The crime of counterfeiting in the US is a Federal Crime listed in Section 21 of Title 18 of the United States Court which is the main criminal code of the federal government of the US.

which means that the counterfeiting case will start in a federal court jurisdiction, not a state court.
