what stops me from copying money

[yellowjohn]

nothing if you want to have a go, apart from being illegal.

also you will need the correct parchment paper which is not easy to get hold of  and your copy will have no watermark in it, no internal silver strip no hologram, infact on a scanner it will fool absolutely no one.

home pc printing methods will never rival the offset printing process used to print anything in more than 100 copies. there is a suggestion for future technology that scanner drivers or the scanners hardware (software controlled of course) be able to recocnise money and refuse to scan it. the equipment for producing money (or any other printed material for that matter) is very expensive. just an offset press is like 40.000 pounds and one would have to know how to insert the holograms ecc.

ps i and an offset printing press operator and if your interested a small machine that no sofistications that r usually reserved for lager machines is no joke to work. it's more difficult than driving a car and can almost be called an art. i tell u this from very personal experience u don't just feed it a file and it prints on it's own. industrial level printers that r probably used for printing money while still being mechanical ,achine r probably computer controlled to ensure the most accuracy with the minimum effort.
