Counterfeit Currency
 

Does anyone here have any experience with counterfeit currency?

Read an article about a man who printed $250 MILLION in counterfeit U.S. currency.

Dude got caught, but still has $50 MILLION of it stashed away.

I once turned out to have a fake 20 when the cashier checked it. He didnt give a **** and took it anyways. Support your local liquor stores. **** Bevmo.

Friend in high school had a very good printer and was able to print off about $5,000 in 20's. He got caught because he had a big mouth and one of the kids he told ratted on him for revenge over some BS. He got like 10 years probation.

That does seem a lot. Then again, back around the Civil War couldn't you be actually executed for counterfeiting money?

I don't think Exo remembers.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to find scans of bills online [if one were so inclined]. I would think that it would be the paper that would be the hardest to get right.

Australian notes would be more of a challenge on polymer with holographic inlays.

In the U.S., older bills lack security features. I'm guessing the same is true with other nations' currencies.

We don't have older bills.
