D gets busted on a warrant for drugs. During search D has drugs and money on him. One of the hundred dollar bills is counterfeit. Does having counterfeit money constitute forgery?

IF you can prove he possessed with intent to utter AND knew the bill was only made so that it purported to be an issue of money, then certainly. Otherwise . . .

Probably against the person who gave it to him for the drugs D sold. So D really should go sue civilly for breach of contract for the $100 he's owed. Wink
