[QUOTE="dursin, post: 605746, member: 17425"]That is well covered by the Megastructures Money Factory episode I found. To summarize, that episode featured Some moron who counterfeited a bunch of $20's and got caught after spending a $20 trying to play video games in a casino in vegas, A lengthy segment on the paper and mentions that it has been provided by Crane Paper Co. Covers how the paper is made, the watermarks, security threads, etc.. as well as security at the BEP. A segment on engraving, including interview with Thomas Hipshen who I guess is a current engraver at the BEP. A segment on the actual printing process, including how they automatically scan for and detect printing errors. Also some coverage of the COPE process. Then a segment on coins which was actually quite interesting, followed by more on counterfeiting currency and then a segment on shredding and how the BEP replaces damaged currency. Not sure if it's the same show, but is nonetheless very interesting.[/QUOTE]
