Printers take skill out of counterfeiting - UPI.com: "Funny money is turning up in record amounts now that computers and high-tech printers have taken the skill out of counterfeiting, the U.S. Secret Service says.
The agency said that in 2009 more than 60 percent of counterfeit bills were created on digital printers. In 1995 only 1 percent were.
'There really is no craftsmanship or workmanship in this anymore,' Special Agent Scott Vogel, a 20-year veteran, told the Detroit Free Press. 'If you're able to put a piece of paper in a copy machine and push a button, that's pretty much all it takes.'"
