The Daily Telegraph says it can’t be done! (Why can’t I scan a banknote?)
The article tells us that the banknotes include secret patterns of dots which when identified by copying equipment somehow initiate a built in ‘anti forgery application’ and prevents us from doing so.
As you can see, I had no problem, perhaps because I have a (very) old HP 1210 ‘all in one’. Don’t know why it says all in one, it can print, copy and scan but can’t fax! I would have thought an ‘all in one’ would ‘do-it-all.’
So, my question is are the DT telling porkies? Can you copy / scan a bank note?
Does your printer / scanner give you an error message?
After my little experiment I find the whole thing hard to believe, what do you think?
