    I know about the yellow dot thingy. Literally metadata on paper for no reason imo. I highly doubt a person could make a realistic fake through the use of a conventional printer.

    In the UK, we don’t even have paper money anymore, it’s plastic… Maybe it’s more of a USA skill issue, too?

      US “paper” money has been made of cotton-linen blend cloth for over 100 years.
