Reply #1: The counterfeiters have adjusted to the new style bill.... [View All]

Where I live, there's recently been an influx of $100, $20 and $10 bills, all in the new bill format. Most have been caught because the paper isn't right, but that's something which can change.

The smart counterfeiters are going to be buying time on mass spectrometers and atomic absorption units to find out the composition of the paper (and possibly the ink), and will eventually find a way to imbed the magnetic strip in the bill.

Only a matter of time. Ingenuity knows no bounds....
