crazy bc all printers have a a code that is printed into everything you print. they are called yellow dots, secret dots, DocuColor tracking dots, or machine identification codes (MICs). They can identify the printer that produced the document, and sometimes when it was printed or copied. thats a rabbit hole worth going down.
It's both good, and scary at the same time. It's good, because it can aid in criminal investigations. It's bad, because it gives oppressive governments more tracking abilities.
Guess what they are only in Colour printers, because there is not black and white notes
They were added so the manufacturers could get the governments of the world to leave them alone

It's less printers assuming they can make convincing fakes and more of stopping you from making illegal fakes if printers could make fake money every economy would be filled with fake money and money would be kinda worthless the economy would kinda implode and with how common printers are the quality of the fakes would absolutely skyrocket
This is why high quality 90's scanners can cost so much money. They don't have the counterfeit detection firmware built in.
lets mod the firmware with this one
The detection method also sends an alert to authorities in some cases, and you'll get a knock on the front door.

I just copied swiss money with my hp mfp m183fw that is a few years old. According to the Wikipedia article "EURion constellation", the swiss francs do have that pattern and I also found it on the note. So apparently even newer ones don't recognize it.

really? Photocopying a painting?
“The original can not be copied” damn that was ice cold bro 🥶 🗣️
I had no idea that all the new Australian notes have those until today. The old ones don't, although they are still quite hard to counterfeit, especially with them being plastic.

The copy machines at my School in germany were able to copy 5€ notes. But only in Black and white. Some idiots in 8th grade really tried to colour a copy with crayons and use it to pay for Sandwiches at a nearby bakery.
Big surprise: The Baker didnt fall for it and called the cops on these idiots.
What 😂😂😂
Crayons? If you're going to counterfeit you could at least try harder than that
@@ThisIsYou36 I dont know, what they thought. Maybe it was supposed to be a prank. If it was a prank, it backfired pretty badly.
There is no need for cops. If it is crayoned bill, there is no chance to pretend to be real money. So no chance to be jailed for it.
Same thing here, when i was in the afterschool program i remember one of the adults gave us black and white copied money, and gave us crayons to colour it. Not sure why, but he took them afterwards and we never saw the money again. I wonder what he did to it... 😂
The amount of security that notes have is honestly insane
The secret service don’t play around. They’ve been around for almost a couple hundred years.
So much just to protect... a piece of paper
@@Vetrical I implore you to live without money, wouldn’t last the day
@@YOURteacher_100 we need it to live but its still just a piece of paper
@@Vetrical Problem is when you put cloned "pieces of paper" back into the economy you can crash it, or at least damage it quite a bit. Paper money is still tied to gold reserves and digital cash.
It is easily defeated by covering the patterns. You can even scan the money or take a picture of it and photoshop it to your needs. Counterfeiting is hard because it is not just on paper. It is the layer of materials and special inks. You want to people, it can be easily done. If you want to trick a counterfeit detection device, you have a lot of work ahead of you.
Not only do printers, photocopiers, etc stop that, but on the off chance you succeed in printing, it's actually illegal in pretty much every country to copy any money. No matter how shoddy the quality turns out, it's counterfeit, and you can't defend with, "it's just a picture," so unless your butt feels lonely and empty, there's literally no reason to even try this.
If you try it on an HP Printer, it recognises that you have money, prints off 12 test pages un-commanded and then bricks your printer from scanning until you subscribe to a HP ink programme.
Sounds about right for an HP 😂
The sad thing is that some of the big copiers do actually brick if you try to copy money. Rewrite a replacement chip installed before it will work again.
@@ronl9309sad? Thats a payday, not sad. Its not illegal to photocopy money...just to try to spend it after. Im going to go buy 20 printers then sue the company into the ground for stifling my right to free press.

These days, British Banknotes are made of plastic and even have a hologram on them.

@@castleanthrax1833 Fun fact: No it isn't, same cartel runs the printing.
I use to work for a photocopier maker. Back then there was no security on money BUT when someone photocopied money the serial number of the machine was micro printed on the copy which meant you could trace the copier from where the counterfeit money was printed.
We actually found out a way to do it on a graphic design course, we cover half of the note with a blank sheet of paper then done the other half and edited them together
So if you're trying to photocopy your kid's star sky drawing, it will refuse to copy it because somewhere there was that specific pattern?
It probably has to be at an extremely specific position
@@nyew_thrizz probably yeah.
@@nyew_thrizznah the notes have them all in different positions. This copying sky photo is the first thing that came to my mind as well.
So have any of you finally tried?
Actually, there was a CZcams channel which did this. The twist was they used copiers of different era, and a significant number of the older copiers would complete the job.
Dude if you wanna fight just say the word
Back in the '80's when I (& everyone in the UK) was paid cash, In amongst the rest of the notes, I was given a £5 note in my wages which was quite obviously a photo copy, it stood out a mile! I took it back to the wages office, but before they FINALLY exchanged it they blamed ME for excepting it in the first place, (it was in a sealed envelope!) How did THEY not see it when they placed it in the wage packet!
I hate modern limiting tech.
Thanks for the idea buddy
Technically even if you managed to successfully photocopy money, each note has many other anti counterfeit technology, and cannot be replicated onto paper.
Years ago in Singapore a bunch of teenagers copied $50 notes and then bought really cheap things using the $50 notes and got $40+ change. Usually at a busy store where the owner wouldn't notice .
This went on for a while and they were only caught because one of them was arrested for selling illegal DVDs and they found a fake note on him.

Canadian money probably also has that but there also the added benefit that our money is not paper so its instantly recognizable by anyone that its fake when paper based.
They never used to check this on photocopiers. I remember photocopying money as a kid. lol
what happens if you put that pattern onto something else?
The funniest part is, is the ink for copying the money will outweigh the value of the money anyway, these days. Lmao.

Depends on the copier. My scanner can scan anything including bank notes. Not that I would ever print any out but it's very possible. Yes a lot of machines don't allow it but not all have that functionality in them.
Did you know paper money was made with scraps of denim material. My dad worked making the paper for the bank of England , at a place called portals now del la ru. The plastic notes were made years before they came out I was still a child when he talked about making it and I'm 42 now.. ( I don't think he was ment to tell us that sort of stuff...)
And thats why one student snuck into the teachers home and added that pattern on the exam paper so now the teacher cant copy the test paper and the exam is canceled
This sounds made up. Why is the teacher hand writing an exam paper or pre printing it and then copy it to be printed again? Let alone a student breaking into a teachers house to do this specific thing.
@Schepter it is made up its meant to be for the memes
That's crazy I didn't know that was the way it works now. Previously I had a friend that used to color printer to photocopy money and the money always came out smaller. Only money. It shrink it by a noticeable amount. Otherwise it looked perfect
You could use a camera instead. I had no problem taking a photo of a UK fiver using an iPad and then printing it out on a colour laser printer.
I would need to adjust the size of the print if I wanted to use it as a method of forgery. And the fact that we use plastic notes in the UK would give the game away, too.
Listen. EPSON printers know what’s what. But a Brother Laser Printer is more dumb as a rock. I tried it on an American $20 bill. And a $10 bill. IT WORKS!
Still doesn’t stop Uncle Sam from printing dollars like it’s Monopoly.

@@galenmarek6949what is the goal of photocopying money?
Before this system, copiers were designed to not replicate the colours of bank notes properly as well as other graphics components that didn't replicate. I scanned and laser printed a £20 around 20 years ago so this star map protection came after that.
There's pretty much no standard in Scotland - even though we use GBP, a number of large banks are allowed to print notes with their own designs. I just checked my RBS notes and couldn't find the constellation anywhere. However, there were salmon and otters, so that's just as good.

That's not how money laundering works. You don't literally print money in money laundering. You just inject your wrongfully gained money (actual money) into a legitimate business that you also own, to "clean" that money. That way, you can legally use your wrongfully made money, with almost no repercussions. Like Walter did with him meth business and his car washing business.
What Arun showed here is counterfeiting. While, you can launder this money into a legitimate business, that doesn't constitute this crime itself. Meaning, how you make that money is counterfeiting / selling drugs / being in the mafia, and how you legally spend that money is by laundering it. Different things.
one of my old lecturers came up with this - was honestly a genius
Phew, good thing they did this because it would be very difficult to tell the difference between real and fake money.
