Decades old problem....When we took down the poor Cuban construction workers aka Cuban Spec ops in Grenada they had forged US currency on em. As well did Noriega’s officers and whippin boys in Panama. Even during the evacuation of Saigon we discovered duffel bags filled with new forged US cash on the evacuees that were flown to the PI.

Best forgery effort in US history was a old man who was making 1 dollar bills, living in rentals, making just enough for his meals, bus fare and minimum needs in his old age. Moved around every few months and was never caught . After his death they found the plates and presses etc ......

Hope he paid his dues to the Allied Printing Trades Council.

He probably cost the country less than his SSI did.

I have seen these 'supernotes' as recently as 8 months ago. They are good...very very good. And yes, they incorporate the new security measures at a very high level of expertise. These notes pass all of the mechanical checking devices and require scrutiny by a very well-trained expert.

Scary good queer.
