- Proven 7y agoI clicked on the link because I expected one of regional Federal Reserve Banks finally got caught. Spoiler: it's the small fish that got caught.

Why should the American Treasury & mint, controlled by old white men, steepled in patriarchy, be the only entity entitled and privileged to print dollars.?!!"
- jb775 7y agoYou gotta wonder how many of these shipments made it through.
- jonny_eh 7y agoaka $0 worth.
- smabie 7y agoI’m not sure the market price for counterfeit currency, but it’s definitely not zero. Somewhere between 30 to 50 cents on the dollar sounds about right though.

- spurdoman77 7y agoI have heard that they sell fake currency on darknet, for bitcoins. Im pretty sure the price is less than 10% of face value. You wouldnt take the risk of getting caught with fake money for a small amount.
- londons_explore 7y agoI wonder if that $1 note taped to the outside of the box was done by CBP or by the counterfeiters? It's very common if you do a printing run to tape one example of the printed item on the first box - that identifies the product and which box might contain the invoice and address info.
