A post all about the Benjamins
It has long been suspected that North Korea has been printing counterfeit money at the government level. Unlike the Million Dollar Bill these Superdollars are near perfect 100 dollar bills that fool even the best experts.
The North Korean government is suspected of acquiring a highly sophisticated printing press called the intaglio. In combination with the right paper and inks, they have the ability to produce 100 dollar bills that can fool most anyone. The more I think about it, this is the perfect investment. As long as you're successfuly at some point, you can guarantee a return on your investment by printing as much money as you like. Because these bills are so good we can't be sure exactly how many are circulating in the U.S.
This isn't the only dirty money in the U.S. In tests up to 4 out of 5 of all bills in circulation in the United States have traces of Cocaine on it. Think about that the next time you enjoy the smell of fresh cash money.
Back to counterfitting...
I recently found out that the Self Checkout machines now in grocery stores and Wal-Marts accept 100 dollar bills. I'm thinking it would be a lot easier to come up with a bill that passes whatever algorithm the machine uses than it would be to fool humans who handle and touch the money all day. And since you can buy just about anything you need at a Super Wal-Mart you'd be pretty much set for life.
Who's comin with me?
