Coneneo Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I find the US dollar bills to look extremly esy to forge. They have no watermark as far as I can tell, no holograms, multi-coloured ink patterns, UV reacting thingimi, or cotton strip like the UK notes do. In short, you are saying the fed guys are dumbasses. What makes you think they are that stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insurektion Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 indeed. And buying something with fake money is fraud, is it not? Counterfeiting at the least I guess. But it isn't too hard to end up with a phoney bill. They are in fairly large circulation. In short, you are saying the fed guys are dumbasses. What makes you think they are that stupid? GWB, Iraq, Patriot Act, North Korea... shall I go on. :p (tongue in cheek) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkishdelight Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Rag paper. More specifically, compressed cotton and linen fiber, which is what gives dollar bills their unique feel. I find the US dollar bills to look extremly esy to forge. They have no watermark as far as I can tell, no holograms, multi-coloured ink patterns, UV reacting thingimi, or cotton strip like the UK notes do. Some changes, plus a look at the new $20. "Old" bills in circulation have (at least) these features: - Microprinting - Watermark (hold a $5 up to a light, for example) - UV strip (I think) - Unique feel, as mentioned - Multi-colored fibers And the new bills add these features: - Color-changing ink - Multi-colored portions - Plastic security thread, also UV-reactive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelly2003 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 OMG!! why are you guys even talking about paper money?? Don't you remember back in 1990 when all those future technology shows were telling us that paper money won't exist in the year 2000 (and we'll all be flying around in hover cars!)

In coins we have 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 In notes we have $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 Most paper is made from processed plants (with exception to very few types).

primexx Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 the 1 cent coin costs more to make than the face value. maybe some other coins too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 You don't have 1c coins??? Thats insane. How do you pay for penny sweets? Or all the stuff that costs 1.99? I assume that everything is simply priced at 5cent increments. I actually wish we'd do this in the US so I could get rid of all this copper I have lying around my room.
