[link to money.howstuffworks.com] Let's say that you would like to start a life of crime by creating your own counterfeit currency. The easiest way to print your own money is to use your PC. If you own a scanner and a printer, it is pretty easy to get started. |

I don't carry them because they are hard to break but not because of the counterfeiting situation. I guess scanning them is no big deal, except if the machine doesn't work and they get spit back 3 times each I suppose then it's just a matter of patience. |

Starts; You send me $1000 in small bills and I will send you $5,000 in 100’s. People fall for it, then the person thinks they just hit the lotto because people are gullible and when they try to spend the 100’s they go to jail and the counterfeiter just made a grand with no real risk. They do it from countries with no extradition. Now when the store you own starts receiving these 100’s the FBI looks at the owners and employees really close to see if the store it-self is putting these fake bills in to circulation for someone. It becomes a real pain real quick if you get even just one fake bill a month. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |
