I knew it was illegal to copy money. I just had no idea there was a special symbol built into money that told photocopiers not to copy it. And, apparently, there’s a newer secret device that makes copying even harder.
The secret anti-counterfeit symbol
Or use an old copier and old versions of digital software.
I drew a dollar bill once, it looked pretty good as long as it was on the floor! Pick i up and look at it closely and that was a whole other story.
Back in the mid 90’s a coworker wanted to display a copy of a few international currencies in his cube as decoration. The copier back then did fine with what he had—until he would add a Deutsch mark to it. The image that came out was like a TV’s scrambled antenna look.
there’s a code that they can used to ID an individual printer on each print out

How is the code printed, and what data does it contain? That’s secret, of course–printer vendors remain tight-lipped about the details. In 2005, the Electronic Frontier Foundation cracked the anticounterfeiting code on a Xerox color laser printer; the documents the EFF examined were date- and time-stamped, and could be traced to the location of the printer. Digging further in 2008, the EFF used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain hundreds of pages of documents on the use of printer-tracing technology from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. According to EFF staff technologist Seth Schoen, “the strategy of the government agencies that have worked on this technology–both U.S. and foreign governments–is mainly to keep as quiet as possible and hope that as little information as possible gets out.”
one of the most successful (in terms of getting away with it) counterfeiters of all time was a guy in New York who would crank out really awful versions of dollar bills on a little hand press he kept stashed under his sink. He even got worse with age: one of his later ‘improved’ plates had our first president’s name spelled as “Wahsington’ http://www.nysun.com/on-the-town/little-old-moneymaker/9282/
