I’ve never seen a Euro. My opinion is that a good printer could make money that would fool most. But you’ll never fool the Federal Reserve. I assume they have the equivalent to the Federal Reserve in Europe.
So if you want to buy a cup of coffee, probably. If you want to spend several thousand, no.
All money goes back to the Federal Reserve at one point or another and can be traced back to you. So eventually they will get you.
People always get interested in the wrong thing. It’s not making counterfeit that is difficult. It’s spending it.
The world is set up to only accept cash for small nuisance transactions. If you want to go to jail over $10.00 worth of Krispy Cremes and a double latte from 7-11 go for it.
Ever try to buy gas at midnight when all you have is a 100 dollar bill? Can’t be done.
Buy a car? Buy a house? Heck it’s hard to pay your electric bill in cash.
So ultimately it doesn’t matter how well you can produce fakes. You can’t spend enough of them to bother with.
My feeling (and this applies to all forms of criminal behavior) is that if you are willing to work hard enough to get away with the crime, and you are smart enough to get away with the crime, you’re better off getting a job. You’ll do quite well and can sleep at night.
