5/30/2006: One way to check a counterfeit

[Undertoad]

A reader who I can't map to a username points to this wire shot of one approach to checking for counterfeit bills - they blow 'em up real big and compare section to section. It's a cool picture in any case.

It actually amazes me that someone would go to the trouble of developing a counterfeit bill and not be able to make a perfect copy wrt where the various bits go.
