Because this is a federal offense, juveniles are subject to the same penalties as adults. This means that if convicted, an offender will be held in a juvenile corrections facility until he/she reaches the age of 18 at which point they will be transferred to a federal penitentary to serve the remainder of the sentence. A juvenile 16 years of age could possibly be tried as an adult.
In accordance with Title 18, Section 471 of the United States Code counterfeitting is a felony offense punishable by a fine of up to $5,000, or 15 years imprisonment, or both.
Furthermore, possession of counterfeit United States obligations with fraudulent intent is a violation of Title 18, Section 472 of the United States Code and is punishable by a fine of up to $15,000, or 15 years imprisonment, or both.

You will get caught and if you are tried as a juvenile you will probably get out when you turn 18.
If tried as an adult, you will spend years in Federal Prison getting butt-fu*ked.
Only licensed lawyers can give legal advise. I am not a lawyer.
