1. I'll be there(=in prison) for seven years for making fake money.
2. I'll be there (=in prison) for seven years for having made fake money.
(Which expression is grammatical?)

both are syntactically correct, but the first is better.
The crime was making fake money.
Of course, having made it, you are guilty of making it.

Thank you for your help. Do you mean though #2 is grammatical, #1 is commonly used?
1. I'll be there(=in prison) for seven years for making fake money.
2. I'll be there (=in prison) for seven years for having made fake money.
