For everyone saying "WhY woUlD tHE fBi cARe aBOuT eUrOPeaN cuRrENcY?": Would you like me to introduce a blinking light in the corner everytime I make a joke or use a meme?

Imagine if instead of printing money it printed a paper that said “Nice try”

To think how it Censored an Uno card... Solution: put in an Uno reverse card so instead it tells the printer "no you" in which the printer will censer itself...

The FBI thing was surprising,for a second there i thought they really came 😂

KZfaq: what happens if you photocopy money 25 million people: I don’t need sleep, I need answers

I think it has software protection for UNO cards too so you can't cheat

I DONT EVEN LIVE IN AMERICA AND THE FBI VOICE SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE

Printing the money isn't the problem, getting the correct paper is

Meanwhile in prison: "Why are you here ? -I used a photocopier."

Give a man 50 euros, it'll last a while Give a man 50 euros, a bit of paper and a printer, it'll last forever

The scanner is playing for time, and while you figure out how to bypass the protection, it calls the police.

For once, the "[Interesting]" at the title was not clickbait.

‘I’m gonna put something else in the thing”’ Puts an uno card

It's actually the Secret Service that polices counterfeiting.

*That's mind blowing!* 😳 It's safe to say that the world is rapidly forgetting what actual cash looks like. Credit cards and phones are used more often, imho.

Guy: photocopies money Printer: wait, that’s illegal

"What happens if you photocopy money?" Prison.

I honestly did not expect that ending.

I have been watching some videos and I was thinking about investing in bitcoin or forex , but still don't know where to start from, any recommendation?

I love how you’re using euros but then have the American FBI at the end

Printer: Censors money UNO reverse card: Censors printer

*This is the Secret Service's job... **_STAY IN YOUR LANE, F.B.I!_*

It’s a software thing. Sometime in the mid-90s, when color printing started getting cheap, all copier, printer and scanner manufacturers were required to have currency image detection built-in to their machines. If you have an old color scanner or printer you can try it, it won’t detect anything. Make sure you also have a crosscut shredder handy as well! 😵

This vid: literally titled with word "interesting" 21 million people: hmm... interesting

I’m no criminal, but the ending scared me to death.

This was a fun one to watch, enjoyed the ending, made my day.

You are correct about what part is the "problem". Some of those little circles are arranged in a very specific pattern with relationships between dots that triggers the protection. It's called the "Eurion constellation": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation

Thousands of graphical designers and software developers: work their ass of to make currency counterfeit-proof Some random dude on KZfaq with a strip of paper:

1:12 if he had rather used a uno reverse card, the money would have printed perfectly

*Fact - Now he doesn't need KZfaq to earn money.*

That was really interesting. I never imagined that some printers might have that facility. A few years ago I was working on a bar at our village fair. I turned up for work to find three photocopied 50 euro notes had been taken. They actually realised the first one was a fake, but didn't want to upset the person passing the money (a woman) so she return on two further occasions! I told them just to keep it and refuse to deal with them, and then call the Gendarmes. She didn't return, probably not wanting to chance her luck any more! When I was a Police Officer in the UK, I got called to a nightclub to take possession of some photocopied £5 notes. I couldn't believe they had been taken as they weren't even colour copies. However, I realised in the dark, that wouldn't be picked up.

I experienced a small cardiac arrest when i heard "FBI open up!"

I think it was back in the 90's when companies agreed to add that protection in scanners. If they detect money, they won't scan correctly..

Federal Reserve Chairman: "This is what we do, but in mass scale"

“What happens if you photocopy money” You get arrested

"What happens if you photocopy money" You go to prison.

My watch history is full of this guy photocopying stuff..

Years ago, some employees of ours tried using some high- end equipment in our office that we used to make plates for offset printing- we discovered copies of $20 bills. They were fired.

This guy: *photo copy money* FBI: letme introduce my-self

*Photocopies European currency* *American FBI raids his house* That is interesting.

Damn, if we had a staff photocopier that slow, we'd never get any work done on time.

Fun fact: The cost of the copying is more than the value of the note.

*Everything started by copying a mirror*

*This guy: Gets Photocopier.* It's time to start a KZfaq channel.

Years ago out of curiosity, I did try that at my workplace. Of course things went really wrong. An alarm was sent immediately to the computer maintenance service while the copier screen was displaying images of different notes and buzzing a continuous alarm. After the operation, the was copier definitively blocked. Even after many restarts it still displayed the notes on its screen and was permanently blocked. I had to call the computer maintainer who restarted the copier through a specific procedure. He was having a lot of suspicions about me. I was really ashamed. Do not try this at your workplace if you do not want to be fired.

I love that you make us wait whilst the photocopier works. Editing that out would be hard.

Who would win? Decades of anti-counterfeiting efforts, legislation and huge collaborative manufacturer support. One paper-strippy boi.

Should have placed an Uno reverse instead of Uno 4. The money would have printed the scanner

Omg I nearly had a hearth attack. Noice canceling head phones on full sound(i was listing to tiesto before this recommendation) and the end omg my heart skipped a beat

if it is the 'copier' smartly detecting the dots, it shouldnt affect older purely optical photocopier, but there may be other tricks in the pattern to spoil pure optical copies?

Should’ve used a reverse uno card, that was the issue.

What happens if you photocopy money? 19M people: *I don't need sleep, I need answers*

As shown in this video, photocopiers seem to have a software that prevents direct copying of bank notes. Here in Germany however, the law allows copying bank notes under the restriction that the copy is scaled up or down a specified amount. E.G for advertising or such. We tested this in the office I worked for a few years ago. To my astonishment, we could copy a Euro-note scaled up 200%, than copy the copied (upscaled) note while scaling down to 50% and ended with a copy (of a copy) of exact the original size. Suffice to say that this item has landed in the shredder immediately.

Its strange how did he knew that dots were the cause of this

7 years old me: Photocopying -my face -money -children stuff -my hand -my drawing

I didn’t expect the “FBI! Open up!” Lmao scared the shit out of me 😂

See those little yellow circles on it. It’s called the Orion constellation, and it lets newer machines know not to photocopy currency.

He's been exploiting his photocopy machine to the full

It would be better if it automatically printed "sir, that's illegal"

“Fastest way to summon police in case of emergency

In Australia, there was a delay in getting colour printers and photocopiers due to treasury regulations which banned unapproved colour reproduction equipment. I think part of the deal was firmware based protection. Apparently colour printers print tiny dots which carry the serial number of the printer according to another KZfaqr.

Careful trying to copy money. Some photocopiers detect when it is making copies of money, and it disables itself. I know of a machine that, upon detecting money, it gives itself a “time-bomb”, and after a certain amount of time, it gives an error code. The error code can’t be reset, nor can you find that error in any service manual. So, you call up a dealership, and they’ll inform you that you’ve copied money. Thereby, sending you a massive repairbill… That’s common among larger copy machines

Title says: "interesting" Me: *interested*

Finally someone that doesn’t talk thirty hours and actually makes content we need more people like you!!

In the US, it is the Secret Service, part of the Treasury Department concerned with counterfeiting.

Not entirely true: if You have an old scanner and an old color printer (usually for W95) You can easily scan and print it.

This guy gets views like he has the only photocopy machine in the world

We got our eyes on everyone here, be careful now.

That FBI sound scared me as it played from the right speaker on my headset, and my door is to my right. Lmao

My heart skipped a few beats at the end LMAO!!

Stop trying to counterfeit uno cards, that's cheating

KZfaq: that is illegal! Also KZfaq: recommend

In UK there has been protection for decades. You get something like a watermark appear in the copy. It was the same with paper driving licenses.

UK here. We used to photocopy one side of a £10 note, cut it out to look like a real one and then leave it on the floor in front of the shop counter to watch people's reactions. Some people are amazingly honest and would point it out to staff immediately, others are so sneaky and would pretend to be tying their laces or fiddling in a bag, sneak the one-sided tenner into their bag.

Puts 50€ in a copy machine *Gets 5000€ in KZfaq revenue

This was such a relaxing and quiet video....till I almost had a damn heart attack at the end .

The end scared the crap out of me 😂

Worked with old analog color-copies. Digital ones have image recognition since many years to prevent people from "getting rich".

*print money... printer: secretly call fbi.

Ceepa's mom: Hey son, how did you get this much money? Ceepa: The secret ingredient is crime

This reminds me of that old Beavis and Butthead where they made a piss poor attempt at copying money so they could attempt to buy nachos

I have come back here 4 years later just for the nostalgia 💀💀

What happens if you photocopy WATER 💧 I dont need sleep I need answers. And now I can go to sleep

Him: Prints Euros Also him: _FBI which is a American Agency instead of Europol_

This protection has been around for a long time. Instead of the striping, many copiers will just produce black in the area where the bill resides so you get a black rectangle. If you set the zoom level on the copier to reduce or enlarge, you will get a normal copy but, of course, it will be instantly recognizable as a copy.

Thanks FBI for uploading this

I am curious, if the printer recognizes those dots and censors the page, that means that you could add those dots to any document or picture to prevent it from being coppied?

Dad: "Why is the FBI here?" Me: *doing what is shown in the video*

Him be like : *maybe you outsmarted me BUT I OUTSMARTED YOURS*

Same sort of thing used to happen with paper driving licences. They would have a watermark saying 'fake'

*_The joke at the end almost gave me a heart attack..._*

*Put uno reverse card in*: *printer gets censored but money comes out *

I remember one of large office MFP's I used just threw an error message if it detected currency being scanned. And detection by visible note features is actually pretty lame, because there are features unnoticable to humans that device can use. One of those is a near-invisible pattern in the paper itself - detection by that method would be impossible to cheat by covering small part of the note.

I was paid a visit by secret service officers once for trying to change a twenty in Bank of America once had no idea it was fake, thank god it wasn’t mine.
