From: "Robert Comer" 

Good counterfeiting is ***hard*** to do, it may be attempted, but it would
never be allowed to get widespread enough to actually impact the economy.
Money travels through the banks and the federal reserve and there are very
specific rules governing the circulation of money that would make it darn
near impossible to do mass counterfeiting...
