# I tried making a response by doctoring a £5 note...
It let me go through all the pushing, cloning and shrinking to gnop the bitch, I went to save it and it shouted at me for trying to make counterfeit notes and turned it all black! *sniff*

# Yeppers, Let me import the thing from my clipboard.
about 10/15 mins of work, not too fussed, I just tried cheating and throwing it into PSP 9 and that said the same then crashed!

Even getting this screen grab was a pain!

# Try drawing some scribbles over it
There's hidden patterns/dots in the plain looking patterns.

Photocopiers and stuff are meant to detect the pattern/dot configuration and stop you copying/scanning it.

# Yeah it does that to euro notes too.
Freaky example of a software corporation trying to scan and control what you're doing. Makes you wonder what else they're scanning your work for eh.

# That's an interesting read.
Thanks, I like nerdy things like that, now i'm nosing at the original scan to see if I can find it though.....
There are loads of rings around the watermark, question is does it have to be in that set pattern or just a specific size? hymm.

# Yup,
It's in the watermark, by swirling it around it then let me do things I couldnt do before like re-size and save.... Very interesting...

# I got rid of a Scottish 20 in a chip shop in Redhill, Surrey once.
Never had one refused, personally. Mind you I wouldn't expect most places to take a £100 note even if it were an English one. A fifty is pushing it.

# I made the mistake of taking Scottish money to Romania.
As you tend to get a better exchange rate there. But no banks would accept it, until I saw a Bank of Scotland and thought I was finally sorted. But no, they wouldn't take it either!

Had to go back to the airport to get it changed.
