  • Only one response to that:

  • Why is the US$100 bill the most counterfeited?

    Jump

  • IIRC, traditionally the most difficult ingredient to acquire for mass-producing counterfeit paper money is convincing paper.

    Except the US Treasury makes that part easy: just get US$1 notes (US: bills).

    The exact same paper & the exact same dimensions as the US$100 note. Bleach them & reprint with the $100 design and voilà! You've turned a $1 note into a $100 one.

    Whereas many (if not most) other currencies long ago made sure to print larger value notes on different (larger) dimensions and/or types of paper so that counterfeiters couldn't do the simple "bleach & reprint" trick.

    Compare with UK banknotes where larger value notes have larger dimensions. A £50 note is 146 × 77 mm whereas a £5 is just 125 × 65 mm.

    Also, UK banknotes & many others around the world are polymer now, not paper. I don't think you could do the bleach & reprint technique on polymer notes even if they were the right size.
