The only difference between these women and the Congress is that the Congress has counterfeited thousands of millions!!!
At first glance, it looked like she had a vacuum cleaner for a leg.
Not a bad idea for a prosthesis, actually.
As far as I know, this only applies to the high end color laser printers and copiers, not consumer grade inkjets. This could have changed in the last few years but as of around 2006, the micro dotting(typically yellow) only happened on the printers that could make a convincing copy.
Most of the good color copiers will refuse to copy money as well.
I know this because I have to evaluate the high end color printers and copiers for my company and have worked closely with Canon/Xerox/Toshiba etc. I always chuckle when some dummy gets nailed...it's almost always via microdots that encode information on every printout.
See 23 above.
I guess you could buy with cash and wear a fake moustache but it wouldn’t surprise me if your computer sends the serial number of your printer as a matter of course to the printer manufacturers for updates, etc.
I doubt most criminals are smart enough to block all the different ways they could be caught doing this.
Malsua, you may be right but I thought I remember hearing that the microdotting technology was so advanced now that virtually all printers do it now. I don’t have any attribution for this assertion however.
But, it wouldn’t surprise me if that is how they got caught.
Why is this a problem? Ø does it everday!
