<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1638802, member: 4626&quot;]I never used the word &quot;conspiracy&quot;; it&#039;s quite suspicious you felt a need to deny one (maybe YOU&#039;RE in on it lol...).&nbsp; And no there is no doubt that the super notes are real; they&#039;ve just never proven they&#039;re from North Korea, or anywhere else from that matter (well obviously they&#039;re from <i>somewhere</i>, but there&#039;s never been any solid proof as to exactly where).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also it is not believed they were produced on the same intaglio presses we use, just the same <i>type</i>.&nbsp; And there is private equipment that could produce the same type of effect, and it&#039;s not as expensive as you think.&nbsp; It&#039;s certainly not beyond the possibility for a private person, or people, to afford, especially if they can make a profit selling or spending the counterfeit money to fund continuing operations.&nbsp; There doesn&#039;t need to be a government involved.&nbsp; Intaglio presses are within the reach of anyone who can afford basic printing equipment; the technology is over 100 years old.&nbsp; It&#039;s replicating the security features that would be far more difficult than replicating an intaglio press, but skilled counterfeiters have done it to a degree passable except on VERY close examination.</p><p><br /></p><p>People love North Korea as a suspect in this, but more because it makes a great story than because there&#039;s any actual proof linking the super-notes to North Korea.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s silly to give the North Korean government that much credit (as I&#039;ve said before, the easiest way to disprove a government conspiracy is to show the government in question is too incompetent to pull it off).</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. If a government is involved btw, that <i>is</i> a conspiracy, by definition, as it means more than one person is involved (any criminal enterprise that involves the cooperation of two or more people is technically speaking a conspiracy).&nbsp; Private criminals doing this would be a conspiracy too, as long as there was more than one of them.&nbsp; Just wouldn&#039;t be a <i>government</i> conspiracy.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are right that many people believe North Korea has something to do with it, but not on the basis of any actual evidence supporting the belief.&nbsp; Many people believe Obama was born in Kenya too, even after he publicly displayed his birth certificate online for the entire world to see.&nbsp; Belief does not equal proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
