Every person who, with intent to defraud, utters or\n\npublishes as true any forged, altered or counterfeited instrument or\n\nany counterfeit gold or silver coin, the forging, altering or\n\ncounterfeiting of which has previously been declared to be\n\npunishable, knowing such instrument or coin to be forged, altered or\n\ncounterfeited, is punishable as follows:\n\n1.

If the value of the instrument is One Thousand Dollars\n\n($1,000.00) or more but less than Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars\n\n($2,500.00), the person shall be guilty of forgery, a Class D3\n\nfelony offense, punishable by imprisonment as provided for in\n\nsubsections B through F of Section 20P of this title, or by a fine\n\nnot to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), or by both such\n\nimprisonment and fine;\n\n3.

For purposes of this section, a series of offenses may be\n\naggregated into one offense when they are the result of the\n\nformulation of a plan or scheme or the setting up of a mechanism\n\nwhich, when put into operation, results in the taking or diversion\n\nof money or property on a recurring basis. When all acts result\n\nfrom a continuing course of conduct, they may be aggregated into one\n\ncrime. Acts forming an integral part of the first taking which\n\nfacilitate subsequent takings, or acts taken in preparation of\n\nseveral takings which facilitate subsequent takings, are relevant to\n\ndetermine the intent of the party to commit a continuing crime.\n\nR.L. 1910, § 2645.
