Using Your Copying Machine to Make Money

We take copying machines for granted here in the US. Anyone can make copies -en-mass, either in the office, the home, or at a Kinkos or like establishment. As a result of this, every American knows what a photocopy looks like.

This is not the case in the developing world. One can choose from any number of nations to relocate to, set up a copying machine, and start printing that nation’s currency. Most of these nations probably lack the counterfeit detection measures in place in the US. This, coupled with the fact most of these foreign denizens have never seen or felt a photocopy, makes it easy to quite literally make money. Most of these people may not even know the technology exists. In no time you will have large sums of passable forged money.

Being American helps too; people abroad think Americans are rich. After all, we can afford printers and copiers.

The plan is not without its flaws. Many of these countries will have, at best, spotty electricity. Regimes will change often so you will be doing a lot of reprinting and redesigning as different dictators, warlords, and juntas seize power and change the national currency.

Should your printer break down you may need to travel 3 days by donkey, to where anyone who has seen a copying machine lives and can help.

Regardless, it will be a fun vacation. The only cash you will need to spend (other than airfare) you can print. Just don’t get caught counterfeiting because you can’t bribe your way out of a foreign jail with fake money. Or maybe you can? Worst case scenario, print yourself a pardon and exit visa.
