Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers in the O.C.!
After dreaming about uncovering a counterfeiting ring, I've spent all day researching all the different security features that they put into U.S. currency. It's absolutely fascinating how many indicators they've added in just the last two decades! Printing money in the 1920s was a piece of cake compared to trying to accomplish the same feat today.
Still...I can't help but wonder if there are any security features we're not supposed to know about. Some of these pamphlets and websites feel more like blueprints on how to recreate the bills than how to tell the real and fake ones apart.
