That's the point.

Neither are frilly night gowns, beef jerky or stuffed animals.

Let me ask this a different way.

Contraband is goods or merchandise whose importation, exportation, or possession is forbidden ; also : smuggled goods

Contraband is defined as any material item or good that is unlawfully:

* Possessed
* Produced
* Concealed
* Transported (including import and export)
* Bought
* Sold
* Rented
* Otherwise Transferred or Distributed


Counterfeiting is the crime of producing fraudulent money or other documents which are lawfully contraband.

Money can be concealed and it can be counterfeited - so money can be contraband.
