Woz prints $2 bills
- lbenes 11y agoThe host does a terrible job. He's not printing the money. Woz is buying uncut sheets of legit $2 from the Mint and then having them perforated and bound. They are legal tender because they were printed by the Government.
- coolvoltage 11y agoIs it? Because what i understood from the video was that he buys the paper from the Mint and prints $2 on them. I thought it made sense because Woz said "I am not sure if its the right president on the note". Woz even talked about high quality printers which he uses.
- CiaranMcNulty 11y agoNothing Woz says in the interview is false, but he's being very careful in what he says. He buys uncut sheets from the treasury, pays a printer to make them into pads and so on, and then sells them to random people at a loss just for the fun of playing with their minds :-) "By law it's legal tender" - true because they're genuine "I get a printer [...] to make these pads" - they make them from genuine bills "I'm not sure if it's the right President" - white lie, it is "The serial numbers look suspicious" - yeah because they're sequential
- cmcginty 11y agoHe sells a sheet of 4 for $5. I would buy those all day long ;-)

- k__ 11y agoTL;DW He bought sheets of $2 bills from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Then he perforated these sheets and glued them to pads. So he didn't really "print" them, but just modified them. Still funny.
