Counterfeit is a Treasure card from Dark Ages. It functions a bit like a Procession for Treasures, allowing you to play another Treasure card twice and then trash it. Instead of allowing you to gain a new card to replace the trashed card, however, as Procession does, Counterfeit merely gives + and +1 Buy instead. Early in the game, Counterfeit can function like Moneylender, allowing you to trash Copper for a total of +; in the endgame, it acts more like a trash-for-benefit card like Remodel, allowing you to trash Gold and Platinum to boost yourself toward Province and Colony.

Strategy Article
There's no strategy article for Counterfeit, and there's little forum consensus on how to use it.
An obvious way is as a nonterminal Moneylender. If you play Counterfeit and trash a Copper with it, you get at total of +, as well as +1 Buy. Pretty good. Being nonterminal is why it costs and not . As the game goes on, you may use Counterfeit to trash Silvers (for total) or even Golds (for a whopping )—Moneylender can't do those things! In those cases, it's like a better Salvager. Depending on the Kingdom, it could find uses in both engine-like and Big Money–like strategies.
Its major downside is its cost, since at it'll rarely be an opening, and it will face stiff competition from other -cost cards.
Of special note is its interaction with Spoils. Since Spoils returns to the Spoils pile after being played, there is no downside to Counterfeiting it on its way out!
Synergies/Combos
Antisynergies

- Quarry, Talisman, Royal Seal, and Hoard have abilities that depend on them being in play. Playing them with Counterfeit removes them from play, negating their abilities.
- Envious, which is dispensed by one Hex, which is given out by opponents' Doom cards
