I haven't tried scanning or photographing one. Some scanners have Yes, this anti-counterfeit method started in Europe
where they have place a specialized design consisting of small circles spaced
apart on the paper currency that is recognized by certain software. Adobe
started putting this software module into Photoshop I think with CS or CS2.
Scanner makers have started putting it in the scanners software too. I don't
know if the US is using the same design pattern or a different one.
The new $10 bills look really funny.
When I saw the first one I thought it had been faded by exposure to UV. This
light faded tan-yellow color on the $10 bill is outside of the range
of most scanners but I'm sure some enterprising person will figure a way around
it
