    I found this among my paper money. I do look for star note but don't find many.
    I did learn that my scanner won't allow me to scan paper money:meh: IMG_3456.JPG

    My scanner is only 3 years old but I've never had that problem. Maybe because I scan at 125 % instead of 100% size?

    I have the same problem. Thanks for the tip, I never thought of that. I'm going to try it.

    I once informed a former employer, one that occasionally got visited by the politicians of a particular party, that the signs depicting an $50 note (as part of a bonus incentive) were actual size making their production a felony. They DID immediately remove those signs and resize the image. I was only trying to be helpful considering the position of the sponsors, but I wonder how that employer really viewed my attempt to save them trouble.

    Not all scanners are created equally, or computers either. My GF works at a pack & ship outfit and they have computer chips in their scanners that run into this type of problem. They also have memory chips that need to be cleaned every so often also as the RAM gets maxed out. Slow downs and outright lock ups.

    I read somewhere that the little yellows are there purposely to foil people from photo-copying paper money. That the makers of copy machine are to write programs that reconize the little yellows and keeps the machine from copying it. Anti-counterfeiting.

    I use an HP Scanjet G3110 flatbed scanner, and it has always scanned everything, both old and new currency without any special settings or software.
