North Korea counterfeiting U.S. $100 bills

Here's an interesting article from Time magazine. Apparently North Korea has the same kind of printing presses as the U.S. mint and routinely makes fake U.S. currency that only the federal government can detect.

If they have one, why are they only printing several hundred million dollars worth of fake bills??

 

the koreans are just a small china version of this junk an iran was doing this an south american durg warlords :devil:

 

Notice in the article they say they can do away with coins. That would be interesting. Imagine if the govt. did away with $50 and $100's. I would have a back problem from sitting on my wallet with fifty $20's in it!

It used to be considered an act of war. We'll implement toothless sanctions. Aren't many places not counterfeiting the US dollar anymore.

 

Tis death to counterfeit-

 

I never accept 100$ notes.
When the teller asks how I want my cash, I always say - NO 100's !

 

I bet its our own government printing them, for off the books stuff just make them a little different so they can deny making them.:thumb:

I'll have to dig around and see if I can't find it but I bought an awesome book about supernotes... it shows the differences in the IR and magnetic properties between genuine US notes and the Korean supernotes. It's scary how good these things are.

 

This book?

 

That's the one! It's a great read!

 

You stole my idea for a thread. -__-

Anyways, I've changed my mind on wanting different denominations. Let's make $500, $1000, $2000, heck, why not even $5000 bills. We can push for them to be made together and we can ruin our country, together. But hey, at least now when we go grocery shopping, we don't need to carry 3 $100 bills, but we can have a $200 bill and a $100 bill. That counts one whole bill out!

 

Another reason fiat currency sucks!

 

Because gold certificates and silver certificates were not counterfeited?
