YoshiRules Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 06/01/2015 12:58 am I found a $20 bill I wanted to scan and it didn't work. I actually was convinced that my printer/scanner (2 in 1) was somehow broken, but as it turns out, it was just doing its job. I never knew that the new bills had a feature like this. I scanned $1's before and thought that a $20 would be no problem. I just I will just have to bust out the ol' photography skills. Report this Post to the Staff

vermilk Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 09/01/2015 3:24 pm How about a little different approach for those who have a smart phone. Try the app called "Scannable". I have it on my iPhone and it works great. Not sure if it is available for Android and other devices. Scannable also allows me to save the image straight to my Evernote account where I can save my interesting finds (only a few so far). It also allows many other types of saves such as: camera roll, email, SMS, etc... Of course I use Scannable for lots of other items other than $$ finds. Report this Post to the Staff
Nells250 Pillar of the Community United States 787 Posts	Posted 12/17/2017 2:13 pm Hi all, I see that this is a very old thread, but I was curious about if this was still an issue before I tried scanning items to share here on the forum. Of note, my first 2 jobs were at print/copy shops, and when the color copiers first came out, they would not allow me to copy a US banknote. So it appears that from the start of color-copying, manufacturers had ways of preventing the printing of funny-money. My experience was around 1995-6 or so. JD Report this Post to the Staff
