We were trying to remember a show where the bad guys had counterfeit
plates that included the serial number ... and quite by accident, I saw
it last night!
It's episode 2 (not counting the pilot movie) of SEARCH, the
superscience detective series rotating Hugh O'Brian, Tony Franciosa, and
Doug McClure as the goofy emergency back up PROBE.
It's a Franciosa episode. The bad guys managed to steal set of real
plates that was marked for destruction, and have a jeweler change the
registration number every so often so that not EVERY bill has the same
number, just gigantic batches of them.
I just ... can't imagine how that got to the production phase ...

that have not been government work have were the Portuguese notes that
were actually created by a conman convincing the manufacturer to run off
a duplicate series. Other than that, there's always something

counterfeiters out there. On the other hand, they then know that when
they find the plates, they can pin the specific counterfeiting on them,
since the serial number will be the same.

of the printing plates in the first place.
The graphic elements of the notes are printed using an intaglio process
(that's where the plates are used) and then the notes are run through a
second machine where the serial numbers are stamped onto them using good
old fashioned typographic keys, which are controlled by computer. The
numeral stampers are arranged in banks of 24 and the computer advances
each one in the proper sequence.

It's even sillier than that, because the serial numbers aren't even part

counterfeiters change them periodically ... I mean, what did whoever
wrote this think they do at the mint? Change the number after each bill?
