Famous YouTuber Discovers Amazing Facts as He Attempts to Photocopy Money

Arun Maini, an economics graduate turned YouTuber, recently went viral for trying to photocopy real money with his home printer. His results left him utterly astonished. This is prepared by SSP.

Imagine a scenario where printing money was possible. While economists would cringe at the thought, outlining the complexities of inflation, many have pondered the convenience of adding extra cash to their wallets when they run low.

In his video, Maini attempts to photocopy a US dollar note and a British pound note. He quickly discovers the printer displays a warning: "the original cannot be copied." However, he has better luck with a £10 Monopoly note, successfully printing it. Arun explains that this resistance to copying is due to a specific design element – the EURion constellation. This pattern resembles the Orion star constellation, enabling scanners to recognize and block the reproduction of real money.

Maini emphasizes that this security feature is present not only on Great British notes but also on Euro money and US dollars. He comments, "The Japanese Yen is particularly interesting; they hide this pattern within floral designs on their notes."

Upon sharing this information, thousands of viewers began commenting, many unaware of such hidden features. One viewer noted, "The amount of security that notes have is honestly insane." Another said, "Fascinating, I love learning these random facts! I never realized there was such a feature." A third added humorously: "The confidence these printers have to assume their prints are accurate enough to pass as real money is remarkable."

The Bank of England clearly states that reproducing banknotes without consent is illegal. It also adds that counterfeiting them is an offense.
