In the shadowy underworld of counterfeiting, a sophisticated ring of forgers had been thriving in the United States for decades. By the early 1900s, this insidious crime had blossomed into a fine art, with many instances of counterfeit currency being nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. The sixties and seventies of the last century saw the rise of this nefarious trade, with cunning counterfeiters operating undetected, often using their own deceitful methods to evade capture.
