Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

These Regulations make the Extradition Act apply, for currency offences, only to states (or their colonies/territories) for which the International Convention for the Suppression of Counterfeiting Currency is in force (reg 5), and they make the Act operate subject to that Convention (reg 6). They repeal earlier Extradition (Currency) Regulations (reg 3). Whether extradition is available therefore depends on the Convention's entry‑into‑force for a state (see reg 5 notes and the UN listing), rather than on a fixed domestic list.
