A. INTRODUCING THE TOPIC
The following article is about how counterfeiters make fake
money. It is also about how the U.S. government tries to stop
counterfeiting. In groups of three, make a list of things that you
think the government might do to make money harder to copy.
Making Money
It was so quick and easy. A fourteen-year-old boy in
Scorttsdale, Arizona, pulled out his $50 bill and put it onto his school's
new-computer scanner. Then he printed ten copies of his $50 bill on a
color copier. Within seconds he changed $50 into $550, and he was
ready to shop.
Twenty years ago only a few people had the skills or equipment
to make counterfeit money. Today computer, copier, and printer
technology is so good that almost anyone can 'make' money. With
the new technology there is a new kind of counterfeiter: casual
counterfeiters. These counterfeiters are called casual because they
don't have special skills and because they don't need to plan much.
The number of bills made by casual counterfeiters on their home
or office computer is growing fast. In fact, this number has doubled
every year since 1989! There is no way to stop counterfeiting 100 per-
cent. But the government has recently found a few ways to make
casual counterfeiting very difficult.
One way is to put very, very small words, called microprint, in
hidden places on the bill. These words are only 6/1000 inch. No one
can read them without a magnifying glass, a special glass that makes
things look bigger. And they are too small to come out clearly on a
copier. If someone copies a bill that has microprint and you look at the
copy through a magnifying glass, instead of microprinted words, you
will see only black lines.
Another way to stop people from making counterfeit money on
their home computers is to use special color-changing ink. Money
