Details
I read a newspaper article that reported on the best bill fakers in South America.
I traveled there 2 years in a row and looked at the money circuit in the business district of Buenos Aires.
The bills were real works of art, and in my eyes were indistinguishable from the originals.
I then found out how they are made: Xerox printer, normal office paper. Nothing special, simply brilliant.
I absolutely had to try it myself.
