Fake,replica and copy

Did you read what they used as a lath, pretty funny and there's some other good stories there as well.

[Mister T]

Yeah, clearly no small-time operation.

Speaking of counterfeiting operations, saw an interesting docco on Foxtel last night. The presenter went to Argentina to find the scams used against tourists. Usual stuff, pickpockets, ladies of the night spiking drinks, shonky cab drivers, that sort of thing.

Anyway, he got passed some counterfeit notes, and ended up tracking down the guy who made them. Old bloke, nice guy actually, and not at all the expected mobster type. Reckons its so easy to do, and he'd made something like $12 million worth, and he's not the only one doing it. Rio's awash in counterfeits it seems.

Maybe us clever aussies should go and flog them some of our excellent plastic money and put these crooks out of business.

That's fine Fulvio but are you prepared "to do the time" if caught?

[Fulvio]

LOL.. I meant us as in the RBA, not you and me personally. We already produce notes for a heap of countries, why not them too?
