It's a slippery slope, you know...

So, what exactly is going on in Italy these days??? Are they trying to take the claim of counterfeiting capitol of the world away from China???

I have to respect this just for the sheer audacity of it. I had no idea it was possible to fit 6 Trillion dollars in the backseat of a Camry.

I hope they don't find my warehouse of illegal printing machines that are producing Monopoly money around the clock.

Don't worry, the chinese are probably going to copy this case in a bigger way!

If your bills are purple and have chickens where presidents should be, you're probably in good shape with the authorities!

Probably printed by the Federal Reserve...

Same difference, printing money based on nothing.

This reminds me of a guy in South Texas who was going across the border to buy his illegal weed and paying for it with counterfeit twenties.

I saw a show recently about a counterfeiter who made a foolproof $100 bill. It was made with phonebook paper, 2 sheets glued together to make one bill. That's how he was able to incorporate the security strip and watermark on the inside. Phonebook paper was able to fool the pens they use to detect fake bills. He would go out with a group of friends and do what they called "slamming": driving from mall to mall, spending tens of thousands of dollars and getting real money back as change.
