- Penalty
- While the act is a criminal offense, the law doesn't specify a fixed penalty for stepping on money itself. However, the broader laws protecting the monarchy, known as lèse-majesté, carry severe penalties, such as imprisonment for up to 15 years per count for those deemed to have insulted the monarchy. Therefore, stepping on money could be considered under these broader laws and result in a significant prison sentence, notes Wikipedia.
