Bogus Bills Bring Strict Security

One in-plant manager who runs two color copiers says he once tested the anti-counterfeiting security of one of his copiers. Sure enough, he says, the machine produced a copy of a gray dollar bill.

Though his machines have always been on restricted access, he adds, that precaution was taken primarily to avoid having employees copy photographs of their grandchildren and the like. Also, his shop has never kept a firm accounting of who copied what and why. But after hearing Berry's story, he plans to sit down with his supervisor and develop a cross-checking system to tighten security.
