Everything Everywhere Daily - Counterfeiting

As soon as money was invented, counterfeiting was invented soon after. 

Counterfeiting has been around for as long as money, and as money has changed, counterfeiters have changed with it. 

What used to be a relatively simple process has become a highly technical game of cat and mouse. Today, it is considered a crime in every country on Earth, but of course that depends on what currency you are trying to counterfeit. 

Learn more about counterfeiting and the perpetual game of trying to stop counterfeiting on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
