Talk:Counterfeit United States currency

I´ve proposed this page for facts verification. I searched several answers about this issue and it`s quite confusing. I think we need more opinions considering the whole article has been written by the same person.

• I agree. Any additions to the article are welcome.--AAAAA 04:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

First thing is that the page firts talks about several famous US banknotes counterfeiting cases but it only lists only one (the most recent).

• I am sure there are many more, but I currently lack the time to do more research. My intention was to plant a seed for others to add to the article.--AAAAA 04:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

I´ve Googeled the Peru example and most results talk about a Secret Service mission in April, but there is no comment on this mission or its results on their page http://www.treas.gov/usss/index.shtml

• Read this: http://www.peru.com/noticias/idocs/2005/4/8/detalledocumento_203628.asp (in Spanish).--AAAAA 04:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

There`s also a contradiction because the US mint produces American Coins, not banknotes which are produced by The United States Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing http://www.moneyfactory.com (there aren´t any coments on this case in this page too)

• Please change whatever you consider right.--AAAAA 04:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

It is to consider that this may represent a business oportunity for some people in South America. http://www.cuscoweb.com/htmlnoticas/dollar.htm (in spanish) describes how banknotes from this series are exchanged at lower rates. There are also new payed "seminars" about how to detect false banknotes.

• So what is your point here?--AAAAA 04:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Finally facts about the origin of this counterfeited notes are similar to previous cases, altough not in the article I´ve heard the theory that this conterfeited dollars are actually the superdollars.

• Could be. I will try to read more.--AAAAA 04:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Hoping clarification of this matter soon. --Javier Jelovcan 02:17, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

• Please, if possible, add to this article and modify what you think should be modified.--AAAAA 04:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Total amount of Counterfeit United States currency: I found this site: http://www.havocscope.com/Counterfeit/dollars.htm, that lists the total amount of passed US currency at 70 million USD. Should it be included in this article? And if so, do we source the website (Havocscope), or the source that the website lists for the 70 million figure (US Treasury)?

There are no United States Notes anymore

United States Notes have not been produced since 1966. The bills used today are Federal Reserve Notes. Two different things Nik42 09:20, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Counterfeit United States currency

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Counterfeit United States currency's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceA":

• From American Silver Eagle: "Government to Sell 75% of Its Silver Stockpile". Wall Street Journal. July 24, 1981.
• From Edward Bonney: [1]
• From American Revolutionary War: Clinton, H.; The American Rebellion; 1783
• From Illinois campaign: James, George Rogers Clark, 114.
• From Philippines: "PHILIPPINES 2012 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT" (PDF). United States Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
• From Far East: Only includes the area of Far Eastern Federal District.
• From Counterfeit money: Counterfeiting In Colonial America, By Kenneth Scott. p. 258.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:27, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
