The Problem With Counterfeiting

The European Central Bank acknowledged that I had a point about the bill size, but they concluded it would just be too much work to retool everything. The heart of the problem is that notes are jam-packed with decorative features that have nothing to do with the security. So I told them that a piece of currency, a bill, should be a blank white piece of paper with a single hologram in the middle. That's it. A counterfeiter wouldn't be able to replicate that without serious specialized equipment.
