Photoshop Prevents Currency Printouts -- What Else Does It Look For?
You can import and modify pictures of currency if you like, but once you do so, the application internally figures out what you're working with and pops up a dialog box. It states, quite simply: "This application does not support the printing of banknote images." Next, the print menu item is disabled, meaning you'll have to load the image into a different application if you're looking to run a batch of phony currency onto paper. That seems like a minor inconvenience, but the bigger question is: What else is Photoshop looking for? If it can detect a $20 bill, surely it can surely detect other objects as well ... [From: Digg]

CS4 wouldn't even let me paste a $20 bill into a blank document let alone print.

This has been in Photoshop for quite awhile, as far as I know since the original CS. What Photoshop actually does is look for something called the "EURion constellation" it is basically a pattern (constellation) of dots that are used to prevent copying banknotes. It was first found in the Euro (hence the name) and the recent US Currency has implemented it. On the 20, if you look on the back, the "Small 20's" are what form this pattern. Look it up on Wikipedia if you want more info, actually quite interesting.

The government prints funny money all the time. Why can't we print a little of our own to get us through these tough times? Does the government hate competition? I thought competition was part of the free enterprise system.

Adding more "bank notes" does not give you more money. It just reduces the value of all bank notes. Let me explain:
If a country has say $1,000 USD split into 100 notes, each note is worth $10. If a person conterfeits and makes 10 new notes, every note is now equal to $9.01.
On top of that, many companies are not reimbursed by a state if someone purchased an item from them with counterfeit money. It can also cause inflation.
Your competition argument also shows you don't understand how the market-system works. Nevermind, eh? Don't give up the day job :).
