While I’ve already posted once on this blog today – about the ten dollar bill that I obtained that had already been entered into “Where’s George,” a database that keeps track of bills that ordinary people enter into it, I thought I’d scan it and post it here. While I scanned the first bill I entered into “Where’s George” nothing unusual happend so when I received a WARNING from Photoshop right after I scanned the bill, I was really surprised (and couldn’t help but laugh at how clever it is) that the program must scan every image to determine if it just happens to be legal tender! Here’s a screen capture of what Photoshop coughed up:

Double click on the above image and you’ll see the warning that states,

“This application does not support the
printing of banknote images.”

Isn’t that amazing?! I really doubt that millions of people are going to simply scan money and then print it out on their ink-jet printers in order to make counterfeit currency! Just the same, I did a brief Google search only to find out that Photoshop not only detects U.S. bills, but also paper money from numerous other countries. Fascinating.
