The World Leader in Counterfeiting: Lima's Fake Dollars

Peru is the number one producer of counterfeit US dollars in the world. In 2015, just over 16 million forged bills seized in the US were of Peruvian origin, according to the US Secret Service. Millions of counterfeit euros and Peruvian soles have also been seized by police in Peru. The forged dollars are finished by hand, giving them an exceptional quality which has earned the country its top spot as leader of this illicit global trade. And for the criminal gangs counterfeit money is cheaper to produce than cocaine. Fernando Lucena goes undercover for VICE News to expose the illegal trade in counterfeit money and gets rare access to the criminal forgers who show us how these bills are made.

1. Looks like they are monitoring Vice reporters cell phones and busting contacts.
2. Counterfeit bill will hurt mostly the honest person. Because if you are honest you will not pass it to others and you will be the biggest loser here.
3. Looks like the cops are happy
4. The amount of skills and hardship is used to make all this possible, shows a very unfortunate nation with corrupt politicians. These people must be supported to use there skills in good and productive ways.
5. "Tip for any wannabe counterfieter. Anything above 20 dollars has to be good to pass.
   But really 20 and bellow honestlty doesnt have to be THAT good to pass. OK it might not pass EVERY time.......but just because you cant work out how to print UV or do the watermark......which is easy btw.......dont give up. Make the best you can. Try to pass it. Youll be suprised what you can get away with once you age it", I heard a man say once in a bar - not sure how accurate he is though.
