I don’t think it will be long before these fake notes will be worth more than the real ones.

Can you really devalue something that only has imaginary value to begin with? Does anyone really know just how many notes are in circulation anyway?

If they are like the white fivers that the Germans made during WWII the quality of the fakes is higher then the real thing.

What’s the matter? Does the federal reserve hate competition? The fed prints money out of thin air so what’s the difference?

It's just globalist outsourcing of the Fed, what's the big deal?
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Or maybe not Korea...
For over a decade, the two major sources of this fake currency have been North Korea and Colombia. The general crackdown on crime in Colombia in the last six years has driven the counterfeiters to Peru, and reduced their output somewhat.
