So there is a sticker on my printer along with a notice. It id basically about preventing counterfeits and the printer is coded to recognize money, and preventd you from scanning them.

I tried it, doesnt work on smaller bill i think, but it works for large bills. It scan, and midway it just show an error message and cancels the process.

You probably can bypass it witg some 3rd party software, but it's pretty neat

Hopefully it's not sending a log over to the police either.

Consumer electronics having DRM-tier stuff like that weirds me out. Reminds me of those printers that only accept the brand name ink cartridge because of microchipping or whatever. It's like if you bought an oven and it didn't let you bake Digiornos, only Tombstones

For some reason this reminds me of the scene from Rush Hour 2 where the hot FBI agent explains how to spot counterfeit money (burn it), while in her underwear.

I donno the exact law, but i did delete the one that got scanned, and no plans to distribute them into the flow.

I just wanna test the feature, innoncent curiosity.

Luckily I do. If you didnt have any intent to make counterfeit money, you have nothing to worry about. It is perfectly legal to make a copy of a dollar. What if you want to blow it up in size to see the owl on the back?
