<p>[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 1030750, member: 4230"]new scanners and printers will not scan alot of US and world notes. There is no rhyme or reason as to which notes can or cant be scanned or printed. Most newer US notes cannot be scanned (by some makes and models) and some printers wont print, but others will. World note is also a hit and miss game. </p><p><br /></p><p>When this assault on our hobby first started, the Eurion symbol was though to be blamed. It has moved so far beyond that! The tricks being used today lie in very specific color spectrums, and a combination of any number of the older anti-counterfeiting tricks. Try scanning a note that wont scan and a scanner that will... scan it using different colors, blocking out the others. You might be surprised at the images that pop up. </p><p><br /></p><p>I found a website a long tiem ago that showed samples of what could be found on world notes that newer scanners wont scan.
