Counterfeit is phony, not original, not genuine.
Counterfeit money is real printing on real paper but not the authorized press and real government issuing it.
A counterfeit oil painting is real oil on real canvas but not by the painter who has a forged signature on the canvas.
Emotions can be counterfeit, took, if they are phony but quite believable.

A counterfeit is an imitation that is made usually with the intent to deceptively represent its content or origins. The word counterfeit most frequently describes forged currency or documents, but can also describe clothing, software, pharmaceuticals, watches, or any other manufactured item, especially when this results in patent infringement or trademark infringement.
This covers a wide range of consumer items, from outright fakes in the sense that they are non-functional lookalikes (eg prescription drugs, computer flash drives), functional but inferior items (memory sticks, blank videotapes) to fully functional items illegally manufactured without paying copyright fees (CDs, DVDs, computer software). In the latter case, there is often little or no attempt at disguising its origin as the end user will be aware that the counterfeit product will work at least as well (and sometimes better than) the original. The alternative term "bootleg" is more often used for this type of conterfeiting, where the user is fully aware of its illegal status.
