It copied the side with the dead white guy fine. We flipped it over and copied the other side. It printed a deeply altered image. /hawk

This is interesting. Since most of the change-making machines in laundromats seem to use the side with the dead white guy, I wonder if it would work to use this copy? ----Dave REes (rees@cs.bu.edu)

Change-making machines also do a test to see if the ink used to print the money is magnetic (on real money it is magnetic, however copier toner is not), as well as shine a UV light to see if the paper glows (most chemically whitened paper glows under UV light, but U.S. currency paper does not). If you use non-chemically whitened paper and put MICR (magnetic) toner into the copier, you can VERY EASILY fool the change machines. Trust me on this one :) Thug
