There has got to be more to this story than we're hearing. First of all anybody that is smart, skilled and patient enough to counterfit money must know that there never was a billion dollar bill. He had grover cleveland on the bill for christ sakes, one of the most atypical presedents we've had. Second, he tried to cash the bill. This must have been a gag gone wrong or something like that. I wonder what the true story was.

Sometimes those are tests, or simply samples for the recipients to see the quality of the counterfeiting, instead of giving them the usable, let's say good bills.

I read once one case of that the counterfeiting were so good that they were almost as the original bills, same materials ink, paper etc...just that they replaced the face of the patriot on the bill, pretty absurd also....

from what i have reqad, it is not too hard to "beat" the counterfeit pen tests.

reprinting 300$ bills on bleached 3$ bills usually does it.

tehre are also ways around the security strip[s that are embeded in all bills amde after 1990.

I still have a 1 Billion (German Billion, that is...) Reichsmark bill from my grand grandmother somewhere in Munich. A valid one. Just that it wasn't even enough for a loaf of bread in the late inflation period...

A billion? That's nothing! I've got a three zillion dollar bill! But then again, I'm a Turbojugend member...
