yeet yeet, fun fact about money: rag paper (thats what the paper money is made out of is called) is one of the hardest parts of the money to counterfeit because of a couple reasons, one being that governments dont tend to let people use exactly the same rag paper as their money for anything at all, another being that the colored fibers in it are really hard to replicate without actually having the source bits for it. For this reason, the best fakes are made with either ill gotten real rag paper or by taking existing money and changing the value of it, usually from 1 dollar bills to 20s or 50s (100s are special and as such harder to fake)
