North Korea are an evil dictatorship reminiscient of failed communism and the Nazis. Their leader should be assinated. HE HAS HIS OWN PEOPLE BEING GASSED IN THE 'NAME OF SCIENCE'!!!! and we would do something about it but theyt've got the bomb, and we're allies with South Korea, so they won't let us use it (understandably)

Yep, that's North Korea for you. People love to make counterfeit U.S. money. Seems like every month or so there's another story about it.

if its just the odd dollar its not so bad, but if they're bringing in 20s and 50s i think theres a just cause for concern.

Well, if you were to conterfeit US currency, the $20 an $50 bills are what you'd focus on. They're common enough not to get much scrutiny at the counter, but they're valuable enough to actually buy something. Not sure why anybody would bother conterfeiting the $1 bill, besides it being a challenge. Dollar coins have become a lot more common here recently than they have been for a few decades.

I would't be surpirised if Cuba also made fake U.S. dollars (The U.S. dollar is pretty much the only currency valid in Cuba)

Bush went after Saddam because he's secretly in league with North Korea and encourages this counterfeit operation and supplies them with nuclear info, when the bills reach the US they will be purposely handed to liberals and anarchists by various cashiers thus putting them in a state to be arrested without suspicion. This message brought to you by the insane conspiracy theory network.

Most US dollars are paper. Therefore they disintegrate. So...if everyone stops going to Cuba then all the dollars they have there will disappear except for coins etc...so, if you're looking to topple a government, just stop everyone going to Cuba! One of these days I hope to visit the Principality of Sealand.

There's an idea. That reminds me of a story . . . names and places withheld to protect the guilty . . . A few years ago I knew a seminary intern who was serving a small Eskimo village in northern Alaska, and part of her regular duties were counting the weekly offering taken on Sunday, and then taking the cash to the local store where it could eventually be banked and recirculated. For two Sundays in a row, she neglected this task, and eventually about halfway through the third week, in traditional Eskimo style, somebody came and asked whether she had counted the offering. She said no, but that she'd get right on it. Apparently by neglecting this duty, she had taken almost all of the paper currency in the village out of circulation, and caused a minor financial crisis for the local store that was acting as the bank for the village. Point is, that idea might work.

lol I'd laugh if someone tried it and it did. The hard part would be convincing people not to go there. But if you owned a national newspwaper, i suppose you could tell everyone there was a major disease or civil unrest there or something.
