Mr. Franklin Agonistes

i wonder if the feds know about this
“ Макро. Рассматриваем 100 $

      
    Еще со времен детского увлечения коллекционирования монет, а с ними и бумажных денег разных стран, всегда было любопытно рассматривать мелкие детали рисунка банкнот. Сегодня с помощью макросъемки предлагаю вашему вниманию фотографии сто долларовой купюры


Macro. We consider the $ 100
Ever since children's enthusiasm for collecting coins, and with them, and paper money of different countries, has always been curious to consider the fine detail drawing notes. Today, with the help of macro propose you a hundred dollar bill photos
 ”

Awhile back I tried to convert an existing PPS exhibit into video, and found that my various image editing software would not allow it to be entered.  You can see the results here. This is the message my software displayed.

It seemed pretty stupid then, given that any would be counterfeiter could by scanner do their own, but what the hell. Now, I run across the Russian site that has ultra fine images of the Franklin $100 note.  It'll be interesting to see if  I'm able to post this.

    I imagine finding software to remove that content block wouldn't be difficult.

    We wouldn't want to infringe on the foreign counterfeiting business would we?

    I work on cash-handling equipment for a living, and it's scary how good some of the counterfeits are. Not some highschool kid with a laser printer; there's some serious money tied up in the presses that's cranking this stuff out. I'm thinkin' it's coming from some country where they regulate printing presses like Asshatchusetts regulates guns. And besides, once you're out of the U.S., it's no crime to print all the fake U.S. money you want.

    The Russian mafia thrives in the Southeast, North Florida especially. They've infiltrated banking on a troubling scale. Or so I've been told by those who investigate these sorts of things.

    I wonder if Obama's buddy, Soros, is funding the equipment for those bills? It would certainly help his plans of ruination.

    And don't forget the North Korean dedication to making counterfeits that the US gubmint calls "supernotes."
    The buying of gold is getting more and more tempting.

    Several years ago your government asked manufactures to prevent duplication of currency. At the same time they asked them to have printers print the serial number of your printer when it prints. It is microscopic but every pass your printer makes has the serial number of the printer in the printout.

    Years ago I worked in a graphics studio and we installed a networked Xerox color copier/printer for page proofs. One day it stopped when printing some Employee of the Month photos, showing a number error code so we called out a tech.
    He told us it had detected a currency violation and if it happened more than 3 times they were legally required to call the Secret Service.
    We compared the photos to currency and figured out it had something to do with the reflections in the eyeballs....
