I can't find it - does anyone remember that story about the guy who only counterfeited $1 bills, and did it sloppily, and such? Only used them once at each store, so stores only lost $1 ever from him, and they were usually really lousy copies. His punishment was $1 and some community service, I believe.

I don't know. From the story I read, it appeared that he lived in a small apartment, and he had a cheap press or something.

Its harder to try and pass printed coins. But just think you can fit more coins on a page then a $1 bill
