And I'm assuming that you mean that there is no special quality that makes them pass the counterfeit pen test besides being coated in lanolin. I however must point out that if that is what you are saying, you are incorrect. The counterfeit detection pens are simply iodine pens, and they react to the starch present in common printer paper and many other types of paper. In that reaction the iodine changes color. US currency is made of starch-free paper, thus, no reaction and no color change.
Although I am wondering if besides the compression from the printing, if lanolin gives that characteristic crispness to new bills... I have never used, nor heard of lanolin before so I'm not sure of its characteristics.
EDIT: Although don't think that I am not very excited to try this. Its great to see someone dedicated to finding a way to make things perfect. I'm quite a perfectionist , so I am quite ecstatic to see such suggestions of even calculating the volume of glue if wanted. |
Im new to the fourum. Im super interested in being able to make my own money! If ya ask me MAKIN YOUR OWN MONEY is the American Dream. I was watchin this program called Masterminds. It basically talks about the worlds greatest criminals, and how they wouldve gotten away with their flawless operations if it wasnt for 1 simple slip up. Some of you may be familiar with this show, but they had this 1 crew who made flawless counterfeit money and when I say flawless, I mean flawless!! But they starting gettin very sloppy about their operation. They had this part covered when they started but they slipped up once they started gettin greedy and careless. Guess what this was? Well the cereal number on each bill is suppose to be different, but one of their crew members went to a high end clothing store and dropped $3200 on a outfit, and the store cashier noticed the 50 100 dollor bills all had the same cereal number. I was like damn!! yall had such a good operation for it to all go down hill over the cereal numbers all being the same. That shit pissed me off cause you know I was on the crews side. But anywayz imma try this and do some major research on this subject, cause I really wanna be able to master this 1 day. But remember, ALL BILLS MUST HAVE A DIFFERENT CEREAL NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM. Just wanted to share that bit of very critical info with the clique.
