I think you're going to get caught fairly quickly. FWIW, I think
Crane's thesis paper might be better - it's 100% cotton like U.S.
currency. Of course, it doesn't have colored silk thread like U.S.
currency. Microprinting, which is contained in the latest bills,
doesn't generally reproduce in scanners. There are cheap pen-like
currency checkers which can make an expert out of even the part-time
high school student fast food mind-100%-on-that-big-date-tommorrow
minimum wage drone.
At that, U.S. currency is probably one of the easier ones to
reproduce. I believe, for example, that the last time the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving experimented with holograms they decided it
shortened the life of the currency too much. They prrobably ought to
put holograms on the $50's and $100's which are the biggest problems.
(A number of gas stations near
here say "no $50 or $100 bills")
Also, unless you found an open proxy or a botnet or something to hide
your location, it should be reasonably easy to find you. You appear to
be a Roadrunner customer in or near Springfield, Ohio.
Google groups reveals your IP and it is on Roadrunner's Western Ohio
district and it traces through Springfield.
