PITTSBURGH (AP) — A federal grand jury says five western Pennsylvania women printed thousands of dollars of counterfeit money last year and passed it on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and area businesses.
The agent in charge of the Secret Service office in Pittsburgh says the operation was one of “significant sophistication” because the women didn’t just make copies of money using a computer printer.
He says they also tried to mimic a security strip that’s embedded in real money, and ironed the bills to give them a texture similar to real money.
The alleged ring operated out of the Punxsutawney area, but prosecutors say the money was passed throughout western Pennsylvania. Prosecutors estimate the women printed as much as $25,000 from March to May 2009
They were just trying to deal with deficit spending
the same way as the government.
Ah when citizens do it, its a felony. When the government does it, its stimulus. Got it.
See, this is what women do with an education. Deceivers, all of them.
Eve, started it...
Just trying to keep up with fast Eddie’s tax increases.

Sure, whatever you say, so all those hardworking midwestern farmers wives were nothing but deceivers? So all women are deceivers, everyone decieves you know.
Great minds, Think alike.

Government can do a lot of things that would be crimes if done by indivisual citizens, this is precisely why government should be limited.
A thousands dollar bill is too large. Can I get 8 $250s instead?
I can’t seem to find my beach ball...have you seen it?
Your post doesn’t say how they were cought but if they used a copier or scanner and home printer they were screwed. All printers and copiers print micro sized identifiers into their images that can be traced back to the serial number.
Sounds too wild to be true but it is.

(Yes, I thought the picture was funny)

“Much safe place for women. “
Only the dumb liberal ones, the smart ones like my mom were usually outdoors wearing boots and slopping the hogs and feeding the bottle calves hours before the indoor variety even woke up.
Question is how do we know they are citizens?
LOL. Ain't no foreigners in Punxsutawney.

What about buying a printer from someone using cash only and not registering it? Or buying one off a street vendor at a Flea Market while wearing a disguise and paying in cash?
Well, the deceived me, I thought they were hot mamas and it turns out they were all faithful wives and mothers!(just kidding of course)
