I bet that guy trying to photocopy his astronomy textbook had a hell of a time.

1. Make a stamp that makes the Orion pattern.
2. Stamp them on documents that are supposed to be confidential.

"What happens if you photocopy money"
Famous last words 💀

[Paddylol]

Honestly if I made printers I’d put an easter egg like “nice try” or somethin if you tried printing money

[dannymartial]

The confidence these printers have to assume their prints are accurate enough to pass as real money 😂😂😂

[PatSmashYT]

Some printers also will copy the money but will deliberately leave massive blank lines in them to prevent the copy from being used

[GLUBSCHI]

So you can stop somebody from copying something by adding that pattern yourself

imagine putting that same pattern on a normal piece of paper so nobody could copy it

Mid-2000s printers used to print only the upper half of banknotes, with text stating something like 'Counterfeiting money is illegal, ' instead of the lower half. Only early 2000s color printers would allow you to photocopy banknotes, but you had to align the banknote when copying the opposite side in such a way that it matched the side you had already printed, which was kinda tricky.
Then you had to find an empty pen and scribble on both sides of the fake banknote so that it felt like a real one.

When you put that pattern on a paper invoice to annoy accounting...

This is why high quality 90's scanners can cost so much money. They don't have the counterfeit detection firmware built in.

My printer prints money, it works, but the photo is so distorted that it's useless

[ElectricPaoloIAM]

This was introduce in the 90's. Large colour copiers also have a unique machine code that is within every colour copy.

[docteurwho]

and what if I want to copy my favorite image of the eurion star constellation ???

[jordanbrettabbott]

This must be a new feature on brand new scanners. We had a scanner like 20 years ago that had no problem scanning dollar bills.

The copy machines at my School in germany were able to copy 5€ notes. But only in Black and white. Some idiots in 8th grade really tried to colour a copy with crayons and use it to pay for Sandwiches at a nearby bakery.

Big surprise: The Baker didnt fall for it and called the cops on these idiots.
