Plastic money is foolproof?

Plastic $100 bill meant to be foolproof - Canada - Canoe.ca


My old man said that "locks are for honest people". This seems almost oxymoronic, but a little thinking answers the conundrum. What locks offer is a feeling of security for the honest people, but aren't a hindrance to a determined crook. The same goes with supposedly foolproof currency. You may feel more secure using it, but that doesn't mean that it can't be beaten. A determined crook can beat it. And that doesn't even count the crooks in government who debase whatever value contained in their currency.
