What resolution is money printed at? -

I ve always heard that money is printed with super special printing presses.What im wondering is what the resolution (equivalent dpi) of these printers is. Just curious not intending to counterfeit any bills so dont bother posting negative comments.

if ur just curiuos then y ask and not google the answer....its not posted so no 1 will counterfit..it also depends on the country

They use plates and printing presses. Or in other words, virtually infinite resolution since a plate can take any shape. There would be no equivalent DPI since you really can t get that kind of resolution. The government body in question is The Bureau of Engraving and Printing. www.moneyfactory.gov Wiki has a nice article and there is more if you use Google. Somehow I doubt there would be much better information than the BEP themselves. There is quite a bit for classroom use and other information from their pages. Shadow Wolf

The concept doesn t apply. Money is printed from engraved steel plates, prepared by specialists called siderographers, and they use lines, not pixels or anything equivalent.

Be careful experimenting, a lot of the new copiers have anti- counterfeiting systems installed. You get a few warnings then it locks up and requires a factory rep. to unlock it.
