Question

What does he mean when he says,"It's seven years for counterfeiting."?

Answer 1

If someone counterfeits something, they make a version of it that is not genuine but has been made to look genuine in order to deceive people.

Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on the short story 'Hearts and Hands' by O.Henry.

The word 'counterfeiting' means to copy things in a fraudulent manner.

The line "It's seven years for counterfeiting." means that the person has been sentenced to seven years in jail for the crime of copying things in a fraudulent manner.
