According to federal law, the copy may be greater than 150%  original,
or less than 200% original.

The reason it has to be 200% smaller is that a smaller bill is harder for
the average person to "detect" without examination.

What *I* want to know is. . .  Does anyone remember the pencils that had a
shredded buck in them?  Now that *is* a felony.  It's destruction of federal
property. I remember, cause a cop once yelled at me for putting pennies on a
railroad track. Ain't never done it since!  I just know the only one allowed
to destroy money is the Federal Government.
