For what it's worth, an economics professor once told me that if ever accused of counterfeiting, my reply should be that I was engaging in monetary policy.
ReplyDeleteOne thing to watch out for is that photocopiers will actually copy at slightly more or less than a perfect copy.
Additionally, you will also need a paper cutter. Staples and Kinkos do not stock dollar-sized paper in their copy centers, so you will need to cut the paper evenly. I would strongly urge a paper cutter, and I would also strongly warn against the risk of chopping off your finger.
