      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

    The key to end forgery is not just finding the printers, but equally important is the POS(point of sale) where checkers must check any bill $20 or higher. The problem is there are many forgers here as well as foreigners delighted to exploit us. Technology is advancing and many bills have watermarks, embedded metals, and other security factors. But, if no one checks, they cannot serve their purpose.

      It's a DUMB thing what they were doing, and when I was like 7 or so in the early 2000's I tried to do this less-but-still-dumb-thing when staying at my cousins with $50 of birthday money, and my uncle had to run to the bank, as long as about half or more of the bill is there they'll take it, little me got about 50 extra bucks after I returned home and went down to the local bank with my parents with the other half

During slow times they tried to see who could fake the best $20 with their best printers. He was so good at it he went all the way and got caught. He did a year for it. When he got out about a month later his face was on the front page of every big newspaper as he was dubbed a millionaire counterfeiter wanted by federal authorities. In jail he told me that was what he was going to do when he got out.

    The way around the ink pen is to spray what ever paper used with hairspray. Why bust your hump trying to hunt down the paper when it’s easier to figure out why it turns colors with the wrong paper. Then find away to replicate its reaction or a way to block it. Hairspray blocks the ink from making contact with the starch found in most papers which caused the color change of the ink. Also adds to texture. The spray that is used for stair safety grip adds texture as well blocks the ink too. ;)
