yes they used lead molded into cut out plates,and copper sprayed.
if you get a really good laser printer you could copy some you would need to spend thousands to get a decent enuf 1 though.
the paper used to make the british notes cannot be cloned (and type of paper is expensive) but water marks similar can be maked from a solution of thinners and a few others mixed in. not that i have tried because the only people to lose out on this would be someone poor as the bank wouldn't accept em.

Hi guys well you cannot get the paper that money is produced on, its special chemical paper, cant be copied and you sure as hell cant buy it. You can copy notes down to the last wrinkle, with metal strip in them and with the water marks and everything but the only thing that would not be get right is the paper.
This is something I know about, no I have not tried just that I have some friends who are printers.
It would be foolish to try

I got caught, i paid for a pasty with a £20 in a petrol station, I was given my change in all pound coins..
later on inspection i noticed that 1 coin was bloody heavy, further inspection showed that some paint had scratched off, further inspection showed that the queens head was not raised but depressed (they must have put a real pound coin on it and tapped with a hammer)<br />if i had closely inspected it i would have noticed but whats a pound worth....i cant remember what i did with it.. think i threw it away ?
speaking of dodgy money it is illegal to knowingly pass fake legal tender, so what if you innocently got passed £20.....would you rip it up, hand it in or spend it and claim ignorance.<br />I know what I would do <img src="graemlins/dizzy.gif" border="0" alt="[dizzy]" />
Take this as a warning guys I sold a car the other day and the guy tried to pass 1 fake £20 in every £500 wrap thats 12 he tried to pass me, they were good too but as I said in previous post my girlfriend is a bar manager and checked the money for me (coincidently he went to his car and managed to find money to replace these)
According to my girlfriend the ultimate test is the written words on the front of the note(Bank of England) is slightly raised off of the paper and by jove she is right, just run your thumb or index finger along to check.

Not that I know about funny money but if you get your flat note and place it queens head down on the back of a VHS cassette over all the little squares, take the flint wheel out of a clipper lighter and take the spring and flint out and run it over the back of the note where it says bank of england a few times, you now have raised writing.

Sounds like we got a dodgey Digi <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> not the mon000 but the dude <img src="graemlins/dizzy.gif" border="0" alt="[dizzy]" /> <img src="graemlins/dizzy.gif" border="0" alt="[dizzy]" />
Just to let you know the best paper to buy is available in A4 sheets from good office suppliers and its 25%rag, I cant remember what its called though. Its good for anything without a hologram (5s&10s) if you use a lighter as described before and stain them before printing using 2 drops lime food colouring and four tea bags with one spoone of coffee in one pint of water and then dry the paper for 48 hours.
I might of seen how to do this on discovery chanell.

I came across one of these lead pound coins in the pub a while back.<br />I was just about to put my change in my pocket, when I noticed the colour of one coin was a bit pale.<br />Got rid of it the next round...

I know, ive been busted for it, but like i said , all you really need is that one half asleep dude at six in the morning.
Or a really busy WHSmiths at dinner hour in a city center where the girls are pissed off with the cues and are just jamming the notes into those safe boxes under the tills and giving you your ten fags to get the cue down so they can go for dinner. If your young wearing a cap you could do this every 3 mins, dont look up though.
