					| Counterfeiting Money                            by JRoger 
 Before reading this article, it would be a very good idea to get a
 book on photo offset printing, for this is the method used in
 counterfeiting US currency.  If you are familiar with this method
 of printing, counterfeiting should be a simple task for you.
 
 Genuine currency is made by a process called "gravure", which
 involves etching a metal block.  Since etching a metal block is
 impossible to do by hand, photo offset printing comes into the
 process.
 
 Photo offset printing starts by making negatives of the currency
 with a camera, and putting the negatives on a piece of masking
 material (usually orange in color).  The stripped negatives,
 commonly called "flats", are then exposed to a lithographic plate
 with an arc light plate maker.  The burned plates are then
 developed with the proper developing chemical.  One at a time,
 these plates are wrapped around the plate cylinder of the press.
 
 The press to use should be an 11 by 14 offset, such as the AB Dick
 360.  Make 2 negatives of the portrait side of the bill, and 1 of
 the back side.  After developing them and letting them dry, take
 them to a light table.  Using opaque on one of the portrait sides,
 touch out all the green, which is the seal and the serial numbers.
 The back side does not require any retouching, because it is all
 one color.  Now, make sure all of the negatives are registered
 (lined up correctly) on the flats.  By the way, every time you
 need another serial number, shoot 1 negative of the portrait side,
 cut out the serial number, and remove the old serial number from
 the flat replacing it with the new one.
 
 Now you have all 3 flats, and each represents a different color:
 black, and 2 shades of green (the two shades of green are created
 by mixing inks).  Now you are ready to burn the plates.  Take a
 lithographic plate and etch three marks on it.  These marks must
 be 2 and 9/16 inches apart, starting on one of the short edges.
 Do the same thing to 2 more plates.  Then, take 1 of the flats and
 place it on the plate, exactly lining the short edge up with the
 edge of the plate.  Burn it, move it up to the next mark, and
 cover up the exposed area you have already burned.  Burn that, and
 do the same thing 2 more times, moving the flat up one more mark.
 Do the same process with the other 2 flats (each on a separate
 plate).  Develop all three plates.  You should now have 4 images
 on each plate with an equal space between each bill.
 
 The paper you will need will not match exactly, but it will do for
 most situations.  The paper to use should have a 25% rag content.
 By the way, Disaperf computer paper (invisible perforation) does
 the job well.  Take the paper and load it into the press.  Be sure
 to set the air, buckle, and paper thickness right.  Start with the
 black plate (the plate without the serial numbers).  Wrap it
 around the cylinder and load black ink in.  Make sure you run more
 than you need because there will be a lot of rejects.  Then, while
 that is printing, mix the inks for the serial numbers and the back
 side.  You will need to add some white and maybe yellow to the
 serial number ink.  You also need to add black to the back side.
 Experiment until you get it right.  Now, clean the press and print
 the other side.  You will now have a bill with no green seal or
 serial numbers.  Print a few with one serial number, make another
 and repeat.  Keep doing this until you have as many different
 numbers as you want.  Then cut the bills to the exact size with a
 paper cutter.  You should have printed a large amount of money by
 now, but there is still one problem;  the paper is pure white.  To
 dye it, mix the following in a pan:  2 cups of hot water, 4 tea
 bags, and about 16 to 20 drops of green food coloring (experiment
 with this).  Dip one of the bills in and compare it to a genuine
 US bill.  Make the necessary adjustments, and dye all the bills.
 Also, it is a good idea to make them look used.  For example,
 wrinkle them, rub coffee grinds on them, etc.
 
 As before mentioned, unless you are familiar with photo offset
 printing, most of the information in this article will be fairly
 hard to understand.  Along with getting a book on photo offset
 printing, try to see the movie "To Live and Die in LA".  It is
 about a counterfeiter, and the producer does a pretty good job of
 showing how to counterfeit.  A good book on the subject is "The
 Poor Man's James Bond".
 
 If all of this seems too complicated to you, there is one other
 method available for counterfeiting:  The Canon color laser
 copier.  The Canon can replicate ANYTHING in vibrant color,
 including US currency.  But, once again, the main problem in
 counterfeiting is the paper used.  So, experiment, and good luck!
