- This article deals with how to make counterfeit money. Before reading
- this article it would be a very good idea to get a book about photo-offset
- printing, for that's how you'll have to print it. For someone who is familiar
- with offset printing, printing money is a breeze. Real money is made by a
- process called gravure. It involves carving out of a metal block (but I don't
- think anyone can do that by hand-if you can, you should be on That's
- Incredible!). When you are done (if you did everything correctly) you will
- have a finished product nearly identical to real money, depending on your
- printing skills. Well, let's get started!
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- First I'd like to tell you briefly how offset printing works. It starts by
- making negatives (kind of like when you take a picture with your camera). Then
- you take the negatives and put them on a piece of masking material ( usually
- orange). Then you expose the STRIPPED negatives or FLATS to a lithographic
- plate with an arc light plate maker. The BURNED plates are then developed with
- the proper developer chemical. These plates (one at a time of course) are
- wrapped around the plate cylinder of the press. The press to use should be an
- 11 by 14 (or so) offset such as the 11 by 17 AB Dick 360. Then the printing
- begins! To learn in detail how to do each of these steps you should again get
- a book on the subject. The presswork takes some practice, but you'll get the
- hang of it.
-
- Ok, quit babbling on, Wave, and start the good stuff! By the way you can
- pick up an 11 by 14 offset for about $500 if you shop around (or you can **
- BORROW ** a press from your local Insty Prints at about 3:00 in the morning!).
- First, like I said before, you need negatives. Make 2 negatives of the portrait
- side of the bill and 1 of the back side. After developing them and letting them
- dry, take them to a light table. Get some opaque and, on one of the portrait
- sides, touch out all the green (the seal and the serial numbers). Line that one
- up on the FLAT and leave about 1/2 inch from the top of the flat. Then for the
- other portrait, touch out everything BUT the seal and serial numbers. The back
- side doesn't require any retouching because it is all one color. Now, make sure
- all the negatives are lined up right, or REGISTERED, on the flats. By the way,
- every time you need another serial number, just shoot 1 neg. of the portrait
- side and cut out the serial number. Cut out the old serial number from the flat
- and replace it with the new one.
- Ok, now you have 3 flats, each represents a different color-black and 2
- shades of green (which of course are made by mixing inks). Now you are ready to
- burn the plates. Take a lithographic plate and mark 3 marks on it. These marks
- must be 2 & 9/16 in. apart, starting on one of the short edges. Do the same
- thing to 2 more plates. Then take 1 of the flats and place it on the plate,
- lining the short edge up with the edge of the plate-EXACTLY! Burn it, move it
- up to the next mark, and cover up the exposed area you already burned. Burn that
- and do the same thing 2 more times-moving the flat up one mark. Then do the
- same process with the other 2 flats (each on a separate plate). Develope all 3
- plates. You should have 4 images on each plate with an equal space between each
- bill.
-
- Roll the Presses!
- ---- --- -------
-
- The paper you will need won't match exactly, but you can make it pretty
- damn close (close enough for the cashier at K-Mart!). The paper to use should
- have a 25% rag content. I have found that Disaperf computer paper works
- great - that's the kind that you can barely see the perforation. Take this
- paper (cut the pinfeed holes off first!) and load it into the press. Be sure to
- set the air, buckle, and paper thickness right. Start with the black plate (the
- one with out the serial numbers). Wrap it around the cylinder and load black
- ink in. Make sure you run more than you need because there will be a lot of
- rejects. Then, while that's printing, mix the inks for the serial #'s and the
- back side. You'll need to add some white and maybe yellow to the serial # ink.
- You need to add black to back side. Experiment till you get it right. Clean
- the press and print the other side. Now you have the bill wioth no green seal
- or serial numbers. Print a few with one serial number, make another and repeat.
- Keep doing this until you have as many different numbers as you want. Then cut
- the bills to the exact size with a paper cutter Now you have a lot of money,
- except there is still one problemo - the paper is pure white. To dye it, mix
- the following in a pan: 2 cups hot water, 4
- tea bags, and about 16-20 drops of green food coloring (experiment). Dip one of
- the bills in and compare it to a brand new REAL bill. Make the neces-sary
- adjustments, and dye all the bills. Then it is a good idea to make them look
- used. Wrinkle them, rub coffee grinds on them, etc. Congratulations! You're
- rich!

- Some of the info was taken from The Poor Man's James Bond, but most from
- personal knowledge. Also, it would be a good idea to see the movie To Live and
- Die in L.A. It is about a counterfeiter and they did a good job of show-ing how
- to do it. Well, that's all folks!
