Brother MFC-J6530DW set to colour copy. First try blank paper came out. Second try it printed the first inch it had scanned of a £20 note. I know I have done copied notes successfully before on other printers so this was a surprise. Reply to this message | Report message

"I just put a 20 squid note in my HP Envy 7134" Is this how you intend paying for your private surgery? I must try it on my Epson Workforce; I've still got one or two bits and pieces that need sorting out. Reply to this message | Report message

By the letter of the law it is an offence to copy money. Obviously producing counterfeit money is illegal but also a simple photocopy is. B of E own the copyright. Reply to this message | Report message

When photocopiers were first introduced to the office ('70s?) some wag tried copying pound notes. The results were frighteningly convincing, even though they were only B&W. They could easily have been accepted in poor light. Reply to this message | Report message

They will copy perfectly in B&W. Now try it in colour. Not so much. Reply to this message | Report message

Like manatee, my printer did about and inch of the note, and the rest of the page was blank, as were subsequent copies. In high res it refused to even pass pass paper through the path. Even in B&W I wonder who mandates the software security, and how the regulations are enforced on UK stock. Last edited by: Zero on Fri 6 Dec 19 at 23:09 Reply to this message | Report message

>> They will copy perfectly in B&W. Now try it in colour. But works the other way around with yellow highlighter pens. The yellow doesn't show up in B & W, but does in colour. Reply to this message | Report message

My Canon has just done a perfect colour copy of a £20 note.....the printer was bought and registered here in Austria. Didn't try a euro note. Reply to this message | Report message

Try a euro note, if it is censored it proves the software is country specific. Reply to this message | Report message

Of course it might know they are not worth copying :-) IIRC In the past it spat out blanks for UK notes. Just tried again. Still blanks. Reply to this message | Report message

I've been busy copying Venezuelan Bolívars for the last few weeks. I've worn out four printers and I've almost made enough to buy a box of matches. Reply to this message | Report message

€5 note copied perfectly as well. So perhaps it's not country specific. Reply to this message | Report message

Do you think copiers are capable of keeping a record attempts at copying money? Would that be possible? Reply to this message | Report message

I have just tried it with a £10 and a £5. It worked fine. (This is the printer Zero told me not to buy!) All the detail is there. If I can do the other side and get them lined up properly, I should make sorry, got to go, there are some blokes hammering on the front doo Reply to this message | Report message

>> Do you think copiers are capable of keeping a record attempts at copying money? Would >> that be possible? IF they have recognition software to check for it, then yes they can and probably do. Mine is also on an ink plan, so reports back from time to time, so its also possible that I could be remotely grassed up - highly unlikely tho. Reply to this message | Report message

You may remember from old detective films that the cops were able to tell what typewriter was used by a crook. The now do the same with laser printers (and probably inkjets too). They deposit a series of dots on the page that records the serial number of the printer. I wouldn't be surprised if internet collected printers report more back. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code Reply to this message | Report message
