These bills also have the most "remarkable" look and texture of any counterfeit USA bill in history to this date. This truly fascinating bill has the screen (small micro-dots) printing technology of a (4) four color process printing press of Blue, Black, Green, Red and even the color gold, simply because they printed the small-micro various colors on paper.
These careful worldwide printing designers had to ironically "Hand Make" each one of these small screen printing colors one by one. Printed on which looks like 60 lb. paper, and not 100% cotton fiber paper which USA currency is actually printed on.
Unfortunately? The biggest mistakes these expert counterfeiters made was: They did NOT use 100% cotton fiber paper, which has a rough surface for experts like bank tellers. The words "United States of America" is too large and obviously duplicated too dark in black ink. The numbers have NOT been printed using the "letter-press" procedure, meaning that you can actually feel on the surface if you run your fingers across for any expert.
(This "letter-press printing press procedure does NOT cost that much more?" Even the gold ink embossing is NOT that expensive, especially if you are trying to pass these bills to bank tellers, or merchants that are really busy at the time).
"The biggest mistake" they made was NOT including the magnetic strip in the bill? Which if you hold up any American $5, $10, $20, $50 to a light, you can clearly see. This strip is made during the manufacturing of the paper before it's printed. "Ironically?" One dollar USA bills do not have this strip. "Always print one-dollar USA bills and nothing else if you plan on counterfeiting?"
"It's obvious this $20.00 bill was NOT made by amateurs?" The amount of money it would take to perform this "incredible task of expert counterfeiting" would take at least (1) one million dollars simply because of the printing machinery/computer involved. My "hats off to these experts!" However you should of only printed (1) one dollar USA bills.
"This is an incredible masterpiece you have created for a USA $20.00 bill!" Their is also way you can go around this chemical pen which most retailers use to detect counterfeit bills from turning the makings from brown to black. Unfortunately, their is NO way to illuminate the problem of the paper strips enclosed in these USA bills. "Buy your very own paper manufacturing company?"
Because of expert modern day digital copying machines and home PC printers, the rise of counterfeiting seems to be getting worse here in the U.S.A. each year. Simple everyday ordinary people can photograph U.S. currency at home using their printer via use of the Internet or even walk into a local "Kinko's" and do expert counterfeiting.
Please don't get any ideas from this article if your even thinking about counterfeiting U.S. bills. Because most of the counterfeiting with color copiers is done with a computer process, recorded and also translated to cash registers in customer service. The U.S. Treasury Dept. can track down unlawful reproductions by computer methods and possible in-store hidden cameras and even office copiers at the time where you work.
Your home PC is even worse for counterfeiting, anytime you log on to the U.S. currency at any place or anytime over the Internet, the U.S. government is watching you from your IP address. The reason why is because of terrorist all over the world. "Believe it or not?" A lot of these worldwide terrorist are funded from counterfeit U.S. currency, which is sold to the U.S. black market at a rate of 40-60% on the U.S. dollar.
Here are the TOP TEN ways to detect counterfeit U.S. currency:
1 .Hold the bill up to any light and carefully look for what is called a "Security Thread" or a thin plastic strip that is embedded in the currency paper originally manufactured in the paper mill. (1) One dollar bills will NOT have this strip.
2. Remove from the light and examine closely. "Can you still see the strip?" If NOT, the bill is most likely genuine. The "Strip" automatically becomes INVISIBLE to the naked eye or to any reproductive camera process.
3. Look for the year the bill was printed. If printed before 1992 and also before the U.S.Treasury department started using these security "strips" or threads, the bill could possibly be old, but still in circulation and also legal tender, which banks are responsible for removing.
4. Look closely at the serial numbers. Are these letters and numbers printed in standard green ink which the government has used for decades for currency or they printed in black ink? This is a common mistake for counterfeit printers.
5. The treasury seal to the right of the bill may also look "vague" or somewhat distorted, or even blurred in counterfeiting. Legal U.S. currency printed seals are always "crystal clear" to the naked eye in this standard green ink, old or even new
currency.
6. Feel of the paper. Does it have a "Rough or Smooth" texture? U.S. currency is printed on 100% cotton fiber which presents a "rough" surface or "feel" to the touch of your fingertips similar to a T-Shirt feel especially after it has been washed and dryed. Modern day digital color papers with copying machines will normally have a smooth finish.
7. Slowly rub your thumb across the bill and try to notice any raised printing which began in 1996 and thereafter as previously noted by the printed date of this U.S.currency. Amateur printers do NOT have access to this heated printing process called "themography" simply because of the expense and time that it takes for each color process for counterfeiting.
8. Modern day U.S. currency also has what the Treasury department calls "Holograms" which means the bill can be turned sideways or "color" shifting back and forth from black to green or even more recently copper to green since 1996, fortunately modern color copiers can NOT reproduce this process.
9 . "Micro-printing" is also a common mistake for counterfeiters, which means the small lettering of bills can NOT be reproduced if carefully examined with the use of a magnifying glass. These tiny letters or numbers are shown "blurred" with counterfeiters because they do NOT have the original printing plates if you look closely enough..
10. Tiny red and blue lines of U.S.currency are also manufactured in the paper mill from the beginning of each note or paper bill. An expert counterfeiter will print using what they call a "screen" process for each color. Unfortunately, under a magnifying glass, these threads are obvious because they seem to "stand up" on the legal paper, versus "lying down" on the counterfeiters printed papers.
