Counterfeiting Currency in the new world!?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Not wanting to leave any stone unturned!

Any thoughts on the "Cash is King" becoming worthless

due to lawless counterfeiting. Especially with the tech. available. And the assumed value (20 to 1) of currency in the supposed new world!!

Any comments?

good point...but do you think they could get away with it now that the 20 and 50 have been updated? It's pretty easy now to tell it's real.

on the flip side, counterfeiting may be the solution to diminishing the effect of bank runs...banks could stock pile their vaults with bogus bills and hand them out to their frenzied customers. these folks are sooooo glad to get "their" money, they won't scrutinize it!

we're all but saved!
