You could fake a transaction with your fake GUI "bitcoin-copy" in a café when trying to buy something and make it look like at first sight that you have the coins, but the transaction would never be confirmed in the real bitcoin network and therefore the buyer would probably never accept the "payment". All this would happen in your new coin's network and would never have anything to do with the bitcoin blockchain.
100% true... But i'm not talking about buying something in a café. I'm talking about convincing your victim that your "fake" wallet is the real one. Let him use your "fake" wallet, send "fake" bitcoin from your own "fake" wallet to his "fake" wallet.
In the meantime, run 2 or 3 miners (fake wallets, setgenerate true) to confirm your "fake" transaction from your "fake" wallet to his...
Ask fiat or ALTcoin for the "fake" BTC you sent from your "fake" wallet to his...
I know, it's far fetched, and it needs a really gullible, new, unexperienced victim, but it could work... And i think, technically, it could be called counterfeiting (or am i missing something?)
