Printing money

The North Koreans have been doing that for a while, or so I understand.

Great, it will be their fault when the wheeze is found out, by which time we will be long gone Rodders.

Another faktoid I've remembered is that these fake Korean notes actually have their own collectors and typically sell at 150% of face value in that market. Yes, more than proper notes. There are different series of them. There has even been at least one little scandal of an art dealer passing real notes off as fake ones. The world is quite mad is it not.

Quite true. And apparently the way to spot them is they're ever so slightly better made. I kid you not.

They aren't the first to do it either. An article I read 20 odd years ago reckoned there are quite a lot of dodgy dollars out there.

Edit:- Wiki without many examples
