This sounds very fishy. Imaging and scaning software, along with printer drivers have built in currency detectors to prevent this.

- loupgarou21 14y agoThis wasn't always the case.
- apendleton 14y agoGiven that the poster said "not in the US," this seems plausible to me. The detectors probably detect dollars and Euro, and maybe a few other high-profile currencies like yen, UK pounds, etc. But do you really think Epson would bother including fingerprints for Lithuanian litas or whatever?
- xsmasher 14y agoFYI, the notes only need to include the EURion constellation; the software doesn't need a database of currencies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation Still the litas seems to be unprotected, as you said.
- parimm 14y agoSo in theory one could make a document un scanable by putting the EURion constellation in it?
