Interesting! I've not tried that, but I do recall seeing on TV (so it must be true!) that there is a law in the US that copying devices will refuse to work with banknotes there. I didn't know if it also applied to other regions.[/quote]
It’s the same in Europe as well. We used to have one of those monstrous colour laser all-in-one devices at work (Canon I think) and it didn’t allow banknote copies (at least pounds and euros, haven’t tried zimbabwe dollars for instance). However the machine had “scanning and then printing scanned files from the memory†function, which worked fine with notes as well – so much for the protection, lol <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
