counterfeiting a $1 isn't profitable.
This is because the easiest way to counterfeit a US bill is to use $1s as your paper source.

Scrub off the image on a $1 and then use a high-quality printer to print a bigger bill's face onto the paper. Go for something like $5s or $20s. Buy items that cost between $2-5 at a convenience store in "the next town over" -- aim for rush hours

(best times: 0600-0800 morning rush; people going to work. 1200-1400 lunch rush. 1700-1900 evening rush; people coming home from work. 2300-2330. this is when people who work 2nd shift/swing shift get off work. 0200-0300 bar closing time. This is when alot of hungry drunks pass through)

Aiming for rush hours will make it so that there are more people and the clerk will be focused on getting customers in and out. Naturally, they won't have much time to check your bills.
You could also aim for McDonaldses that are primarily staffed by teenaged niggers...they're not going to check. Too younge...too stupid.

Yeah, I've been looking in to it with what few online resources I can find and getting the tools to do it and the cost of everything, I realize copying 1 USD wouldn't be profitable. I was thinking 5s and 20s, but like I said, 20s are being checked now because someone just spread out a bunch of fake 20s in this town.

My buddy did it with some kind of regular home printer (nothing too fancy) and a special kind of paper and it worked, wish I would have asked him exactly what he did back then. I guess I'll keep gathering info and wait so they aren't checking every $20 bill that comes through.

Those are some good tips though, thanks. That'll help if I ever manage to pull this off.

Counterfeiting is too much risk for little reward. There's a reason nobody bothers anymore except idiots because you do a decade in prison for just $1 fake bills. Cops know all about the scam 5 and 10 bills you will get caught, simply because all counterfeiting is eventually caught unless you sell the bills online like a drug shipper and never, ever spend it locally

For larger bills like fifties or hundreds, you're going to need a fairly new printer, car paint, Elmer's glue, highlighters, red and blue yarn and phone book paper. I'm not going to get into details, here but I took forensics in college, and we learnt some stuff about fake bills.
Before actually reproducing the bill, spend time examining the real thing; PBS's Nova has a good documentary (which can be found online) which talks almost specifically about the hundred-dollar-bill.it also really helps to look at how clerks react to larger bills (what they do with them to make sure they are legit).
I don't want to break any laws by telling you confidential information, but here are a few helpful tips:
The strip inside the 100 solar bill reads "USA100" upside-down and backwards, and rightside-up and forwards, it glows red under a blacklight.
There are lines on the dollar bill that are meant to mess with conventional printers, causing them to blotch and overlap.
The green symbol on every dollar bill is stamped on separately.
Usually the important things on bills (the numbers, specifically) are raised, and sparkle in the light.

I've said enough, but hopefully you'll be able to make sense out of all this information.

I forgot to mention that fifties and hundreds have tiny blue and red fibers on them.

isnt this illigal?

>>1811
This.

But if you do manage to learn and make (good) counterfits, I'm sure you can make good money selling them on the Silk Road or some other dark market online.

my buddy printed a bunch of 10s and twentys on nice paper at office depot
went home and cut them out pretty straight and then crumpled them up just enough, not to much.
he would spend them at food trucks or other places with rediculous lines being ran through really fast

fuck.
now we cant do it

This guy hit the metaphoric nail on the proverbial head. That is the way it's typically done.

After being a clerk for more years than I care to count, I can say that spending funny money in places with inexperienced cashiers, long lines, and busy pace at best shaves your odds a few percentage points. I ticked off plenty of customers by investigating bills while at my busiest. I did this not because I was expecting fakes but to demonstrate visually that I was observant of the quality of the bills which were being handed to me. In honesty, I never trusted those counterfeit detection pens and trusted my own tactile sense much more -- but I would use the pen or hold the bill up to the light so that the customers could see I was checking them. As you keep pushing your luck and spending funny money, you inevitably will find some jackass clerk like me who recognizes that Abe Lincoln is an imposter.

In summary: Don't do it.

Too damn risky man.

That's one of the few nonviolent non headline grabbing crimes where the law can really pile on resources and hammer you legitimately. And they will, especially if you're not planning on packing up and changing cities every couple months.

Seriously, doing it in any amount that's really worthwhile for more than the satisfaction of sticking it to the man is just asking for it.

Wash the singles and print 10s. Don't be too greedy. And never spend them alone, three fakes looks bad, one fake and two real is plausible (if you‘re caught).

Fraud is probably higher return for lower risk anyway.

Dude they will even thumbprint money to find you. And it costs a lot to invest in legit equipment. You can't use an inkjet because they give off a pattern that can be traced. Most printers don't allow you to print bills but you could get around that. However, the risk to reward ratio is way too fucking high. I've never encountered a good enough fake that you couldn't tell upon sight.

Not just inkjets, all color printers sold in the US are required to print a pattern. Inkjet, laser, copier, all print a pattern that can be traced back to that individual printer, and the authorities use sales records (manufacturer to distributor to store to owner) to track down the current owner.

What I thought about doing was buying a color printer from a equipment liquidator, basically company that buys equipment from failed businesses then sells to anyone who shows up with money. Pay cash and go a place that doesn't require ID (some do, some don't).

My problem is I moved so and have no idea where the liquidators are here, or even if there are any. The ones I went to (for legitimate needs of my employer at the time) bought their stock from dozens of states.

Are you sure that you want to do that? That's illegal.

Do not try selling counterfeit money on deep web to avoid detection either.

If you have good opsec, using a different collection box each time, gloves, Tor, XMR, etc, how will they catch you? When I read reports of people getting caught, they ALWAYS have bad opsec.

Same.

>>2853
Buy one on Craigslist or something?

>>1793
I do not think it is possible. This is one of the most high tech crime one can do.

Obviously. You only hear about the retards because law enforcement doesn't want to give away the forensic methods they use to catch non retards.

Americans are all Satanists now.

Americans don't care if stealing is legal, but Americans lose their minds if a church feeds the homeless.
