Damn I can't copy dollar bills on my copier.
 

I paid all that money for this xerox copier and it wont let me copy dollar bills. I keep getting this weird messages...

:uhoh :uhoh :1orglaugh

yep, built into the software, same with some scanners

Don´t you get it? You will need monster-machine this to copy dollar bills...

Good luck !! :winkwink:

Lol seriously? I never tried it. Didn't think they actually built in software to prevent it

That sux. with all the features on dollar bills there is no way you can mistaken a photocopied bill with the real thing, so there's no point of adding the software...all I want is make copies of dollars on regular papers.

There's no money in copiers.

You need a printing press, ink, paper and a good plate.

Nice Epson printer. I I had the same one, once.

ONCE?? :question U mean that´s not the latest technology??

You can borrow my copies, just make sure you change the serial number :thumbsup

Not too good of an idea to post that. That is actually illegal.

I read once of a counterfeiter who drew bills by hand...
Brush up on your art skills, they are impervious to software :upsidedow

the newer copiers have software that prints a tiny code on everything you print. I think you know why.

Yup you ever wonder why you run out of yellow ink first? It prints a tiny yellow number on each thing you print.

I never noticed, but honestly, if its such a tiny number, I doubt it would really take that much ink....

No, that was changed after Sports Illustrated printed a basketball hoop filled with money.

No its not that law. The images he posted are direct scans.

I was able to scan in a two dollar bill with my printer (half the time it would take to copy all those dollar bills) for http://www.2bucktrials.com/

not a code , but much rather a series of dots on the page , they quite small and scattered around the page , the dots are codings

and here's a list of the printers
http://www.eff.org/Privacy/printers/list.php
most are the highend workgroup style printers

here's a way to do see the dots
scanned a print out from your printer, adjust brightness and contrast and make it a negative to enhance the dots. you can see them as blue dots.

there was a kid in my home town here in australia , over here we use plastic notes , he went down to the local pc joint picked up some priting plastic stuff , , scanned the 50 buck notes , he couldn't get the texture or security seals , so he spent the fake notes at macca's , only reason he got caught was he told his friends , his friend told there friends next thing the cops are banging down his door

if you brought the printer with your credit card , your details are linked to the seriel number , so your easily busted, so just make sure you pay with cash and don't feel out any warranty records

what's macca's??

Canon got the shit sued out of them by the US Gov. because the green thay were using was exactly the same as on the money. Someone in Miami actually printed 4 million dollars in 1 dollar bills.


Got caught because they tried to pass them off to strippers in a club. The strippers said that the instant the guys handed them to them, they knew they were fakes.

no it's not...

The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, permits color illustrations of U.S. currency provided:
the illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated;

the illustration is one-sided; and

all negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices, and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use.

ya id take that pic of the 20 dollar bill down now lol

Anyone else have a vision of a bank with strippers standing behind the tellers checking each note the customer hands over? I wouldn't mind paying bank fees for that...

Try setting the Enlarge to 150% and see if it works. It's not illegal to copy money or use it for graphics, as long as you following the rules I posted above. I have used money in many printed ad campaigns, signage, billboards, etc..

Sounds illegal to me, he put a copy of the scan on the web, it sounds like that last paragraph prohibits just that...

Maybe he isn't done using it, says after final use. As long as it's 150% bigger than the original, he's fine.

Ya so what you just posted makes it seem that indeed what is posted is illegal. I could right click save as, then set the size right and print those out. Both sides are there.

and? doesn't say you can't do both sides, just says it has to be a single sided illustration, which they are. There is no way to do a two-sided illustration on the web. Two sided means you turn it over and there's somethign printed on the other side... :thumbsup

And if you take them and set them to the right size, then it is you who is doing something illegal, not him.

Ya ok... :uhoh

I think the problem may be that you are confusing yourself with someone who knows what they are talking about.

LOL nice :1orglaugh

Didnt realize we had a department of the treasury employee here on gfy.... :uhoh
