I am under the impression that this is true by design.  A friend of
mine was at Xerox when they released their new, highest resolution
copier (of the time).  They were called in when it was discovered 
that a dollar bill changer at the campus where one of these copiers
had been being beta tested had been accepting copies made by this
machine.

The solution was to change the scale slightly.

By the way, this fellow still has the urge to put an "xc" on a
memo instead of a "cc".
