This interesting video (report) offers a look into the illegal production of counterfeit US dollar banknotes in Peru, known for their exceptionally convincing execution. It shows how counterfeiters attempt to mimic the special material, printing, inks, and security features of original banknotes, and further finish them by hand.
Particular danger is posed by counterfeit 100-dollar bills, which can sometimes pass a basic touch check or detection marker. The video also shows how a well-organized criminal chain stands behind the production and international distribution of counterfeit money.
It is also interesting to see how resourceful counterfeiters are in their “business.” In the process of making fake banknotes, even flour is used!
