Oh yeah, what the *****? What are you scanning a twenty for anyway? - Ryan_KW, on 02/05/2009, -4/+128It's called The Bank of China

- inactive, on 02/05/2009, -1/+124It would be funny if a person had a certian configuration of freckles so nobody could ever print their pic.
off to add this to co workers documents - raeshao, on 02/05/2009, -1/+115The Federal Reserve has their own special edition of photoshop.
- govsucks, on 02/05/2009, -32/+146Man, these guys need some serious competition. Anyway, save the tiff, open it in any other app and print it. Won't be worth a dollar after the Keynesian dumbasses are done anyway.
- s0nicfreak, on 02/06/2009, -2/+104Touch Penises for Bucks
- Spire3660, on 02/05/2009, -5/+101There is a 'black box' module in photoshop, created by the US government that does this. Even Adobe doesnt know whats in it, only what it does.
- aristotle1990, on 02/05/2009, -0/+92You're right. From Wired:
The inner workings of the counterfeit deterrence system are so secret that not even Adobe is privy to them. The Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group provides the software as a black box without revealing its precise inner workings, Connor said.
http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/news/2004/01/61890 ... - justjoehere, on 02/05/2009, -5/+94Let's see who can print faster, us using our home printers or the government LOL
- atuline, on 02/05/2009, -2/+82There's always the $100 trillion note from Zimbawe.
- biffen, on 02/05/2009, -3/+80I remember reading long ago that the method used for detecting a currency image was developed by the government and that even Adobe didn't have access to it. They, very trustingly, allowed that code to be put into their product. Kinda scary.
Anyone back that up? Link? - NyteStarNyne, on 02/06/2009, -1/+78I'm pretty sure TPB stands for The Pira....*This Message has been intercepted by Adobe™. TPB stands for The Product Bundle, as in our new CS4 Master Bundle, now for only $2,499.00! Buy Today!*
- Spire3660, on 02/05/2009, -2/+72From wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation, under other banknote detection systems.
According to an article in Wired magazine, the banknote detection code in these applications, called the Counterfeit Deterrence System (CDS), was designed by the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group and supplied to companies such as Adobe as a binary module.
Binary module means that adobe doesnt know whats in it, only what it does. - taicho, on 02/05/2009, -1/+62Damn! Well I'm printing all my money from Paint from now on!
- kwasmosis, on 02/05/2009, -1/+59@Charlotte_Web HAHA!! Totally gonna pull this at my office. I hope this works.
- twodollars, on 02/06/2009, -1/+55The Phelps Bong
- CDNChaoZ, on 02/05/2009, -4/+58Printers that are on the higher end of the market also detect the printing of currency and locks itself down.
The Toshiba rep which sold us our office copier/printer warned us about it. Don't really want to test out their system. - strictnein, on 02/05/2009, -5/+51Because you can't print money at home? The government provides images for marketing/arts. They're slightly modified.
Now go take your lithium. - ptsuk, on 02/05/2009, -5/+51Yep this has been in there for years (since 4.0 or 5.0) and there is a "crack" for it too to get around the issue.
- AparoidX, on 02/05/2009, -0/+41That wouldn't cover the costs for paper and ink used, though, so why bother?
- strictnein, on 02/05/2009, -0/+40Did everyone miss that any new printer will also not print new currency? Do we really need to go over this again?
It'll just print a page telling you to go to http://www.rulesforuse.org/ - uptwolait, on 02/05/2009, -1/+40Scan. Zoom in. Screen cap. Open MS Paint. Paste. Print.
PROFIT! - inactive, on 02/06/2009, -1/+39Next thing you know, a parent might take a picture of their toddler running around naked, and then Adobe won't let you open it, saying it's child porn.
- inactive, on 02/06/2009, -0/+37That's scary! I wonder what else it does....
Photoshop = 32 meg
Black box = 1070 meg - MrFisty, on 02/06/2009, -0/+37Finally, a solid plan for profit! We could never get that second last step to work.
- gigantoid, on 02/05/2009, -27/+59Buried for being extremely old news.
- gutistg, on 02/06/2009, -0/+31Report back on being fired! lol
- Charlotte_Web, on 02/05/2009, -1/+31It's not just Photoshop; the anti-counterfeit technology is also built into office copiers.
Don't know if all copiers behave this way, but I've read about copiers simply locking down if you tried to scan a bill, and requiring a service call in order to be functional again. - stix213, on 02/05/2009, -1/+31Even if it did today, it wouldn't tomorrow
- ronintetsuro, on 02/05/2009, -9/+37Wait wait wait....
So the Federal Reserve can print all the bank notes it wants just because, but I can't?
Truly this is the age of double standard fascist rule. - alexhladun, on 02/05/2009, -0/+28report back on results! lol
- Kenelm, on 02/05/2009, -2/+28I've no problems printing 100€ bills.
- q1006662, on 02/06/2009, -0/+26"Here's one scenario: You are throwing a party for your kid and want to decorate the room with fake money."
That's the best quote I'm going to see all day. - seanovan, on 02/05/2009, -5/+305 seconds of googling:
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/05/05/how-to-sca ... - tgc1, on 02/06/2009, -8/+30*sigh* Again, the Government does not print money. It is the Federal Reserve, a private company, that prints the currency issued to the public. If you would kindly take a bank note out of your wallet, and look on it. It says FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE. It does not say GOVERNMENT NOTE. As government notes do not exist.
- TrevorBelmont, on 02/06/2009, -1/+22They've taken our right to throw fake money parties! Are we even Americans without them?
- justjoehere, on 02/06/2009, -1/+22It was a joke, not an attempt to convey factual information.
- madbeats24, on 02/05/2009, -4/+25zwa!
- jedsmith, on 02/05/2009, -1/+20EURion Constellation
- ImWayGooderest, on 02/06/2009, -1/+20Tickle People's Balls
- WibWobble, on 02/05/2009, -1/+19Paint didnt stop me with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_$20_Series_20 ...
- Paulish, on 02/06/2009, -0/+18If I print money and buy cool *****, it is counterfeiting. If the Fed prints money to do questionable *****, it is legit.
(The Federal reserve is a private entity BTW) - alexhladun, on 02/05/2009, -2/+20You have just committed a felony.
- fuse13, on 02/05/2009, -0/+18Even though they only provide the binary, it should be possible for someone to reverse engineer it, even if it is quite obsfucated. Somebody somewhere probably has figured this out.
