    The moral of the story is that it doesn't pay to buck the system.

    Oh thank God! I thought we started to outsource our currency production.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    I thought the US Dollar was a declining currency, shouldn't they be forging Euros instead?

    The euro bills have reflective holographic (spelling?) parts that the dollars don´t have...maybe the euro bills are just harder to copy.....
