Say, how do those photocopy machines decide and refuse when a bank note is being copied? There's a five-circles "constellation" that means "this is currency, do not copy". It's the ratios of the distances that matter, not the orientation, so spinning the note (or the design) around won't change anything. In Euro notes, it's the little H-shaped constellations, with little circles at the tips. In US money, (only in the 20's and up so far, but will be inserted in lower bills as they are redesigned) it's in the dollar numbers themselves. Look on a 20; you'll see a field of -many- "20" texts scattered sorta randomly. It's not random. The position of the 0's form the same "constellation" as is obvious on the EU notes. -Bill Yerazunis _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
