On the other hand, there are a lot of good people here who just want to contribute instead of being a jackass, thanks.
I'd like to point something out:

If you'd like to know how to currency on par with the mint, this thread isn't going to help you - nor is the other one. Both of threads contain concept ideas that are home-methods for making counterfeit money on a tiny scale.

Whether one method or the other appeals to you should depend on whether or not the materials are available to you. Personally, I don't see the value in this thread, as the materials required are of high cost and the methods themselves still appear to be theoretical.

Secondly, the entire printing "UV ink" point is void - one can use an anti-theft pen to duplicate that aspect on virtually any bill.

All that remains to produce a high quality fake is a watermark - which was already discussed in the other thread; color shifting ink - which was already discussed in the other thread; and paper thin enough to use 2 layers on a single bill - which neither thread has given a source for.

All in all, the threads give two slightly different methods which thus far would produce almost identical products.

None the less, posters who left the other thread did so, not because the thread isn't informative, but because "it's too long". One must ask himself how interested you are in the subject if you're that lazy about researching it.
