摘要： 国家有权规制其通货实为普遍接受之原则，货币发行国规范其通货的排他权利属于联合国宪章第2条第7款所规定的事项之一。这也就使得不论是作为阐释货币性质的一种理论还是作为私法原则的唯名主义和货币法则均逐渐发展成为各国国内法体系和国际实践中所一致接受的法律原则。也使得一国的货币法具有域外效力为国际社会能够普遍接受，几乎所有国家均认为伪造外国货币是一种犯罪。

Abstract: It is indeed a generally accepted principle that a state is entitled to regulate its own currency．The currency—issuing state’s exclusive right to regulate its money is one of matters covered by Article 2，paragraph 7．of the Charter of the United Nations．Consequently，the nominalism，either in meaning of a theory of the nature of money or in meaning of a principle of positive private law，and lex monetae doctrine have been become a generally accepted legal principle in every state’domestic legal regime and in international practices．And it has brought on the extraterritorial effect of a state’s monetary law to be able to be recognized by society of nations at large also．Almost every country makes counterfeiting of foreign money a criminal offense．

Key words: money, lex monetae doctrine, nominalism, counterfeiting of foreign money
