Why only super-scientific CSI labs can fight today’s master criminal’s…

From Oregon:

“MCMINNVILLE – Someone’s trying to pass off bogus bills at local stores. Police say at least seven counterfeit 100-dollar bills showed up at stores in McMinnville last week.

But authorities say the counterfeiters did a crummy job. The Benjamins don’t have Benjamin Franklin’s face on them – they’ve got a President Lincoln’s face. And they all have the same serial number.

Merchants are watching out for suspects.”

  • I once saw a police slideshow that showed (among other things) a $20 bill someone had made with Washington on it.
