Chapter 1760: Confusing Truth with Falsehood

Currency has a long history.

In the beginning, there was no currency, and when there was a shortage of materials, there was no need for this, there were no superfluous goods, or barter, and then later, equivalents appeared, and general equivalents appeared.

Eventually, money appeared, and at first money was of sufficient value, real money, and at this time, counterfeit money had no value, but later, paper money appeared.

In short, when entering the era of paper money, it was convenient for rulers, but it brought a lot of problems, one of which was counterfeit money.

Currency is almost always issued by various countries, and the amount of money issued in their own countries needs to be based on demand, and too much currency issuance will lead to the terrible demon of inflation.

Individuals can make counterfeit money, but it is too difficult, organizations can make it, but it is also very difficult to fake the real money, only one country can use its own power to make counterfeit money, so that it can really be comparable to the real money.

For example, during the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States used the spirit of internationalism to help each other print dollars and rubles, resulting in counterfeit dollar and ruble bills everywhere in the market.

Koreans have also been printing renminbi and dollars to help with quantitative easing in both countries, Southeast Asian drug lords, Mexican drug lords, and Japanese gangsters and Italian gangsters are also helping to print dollars for quantitative easing, and one out of ten dollars is fake, these are the great spirit of internationalism.

In World War II, it was not uncommon for counterfeit money to be printed, and the biggest counterfeiter was Germany.

Germany developed part of a huge plan to destroy the economies of the Allies, known as Operation Bernhard, the most famous of which was the printing of the British pound, after all, during World War II, Britain was still the world hegemon, and the British pound was still the international currency.

The design of the British banknote is extremely detailed, the design of the goddess Britannia was specially commissioned, and the watermarking is the work of a master of great accomplishment. The cross-shaped linen paper floor is densely packed, the use of a multi-layer overlay process is unique, and the digital coding system is well thought out. In short, British banknotes are works of art and almost no one can copy them, but by 1945, one-third of the banknotes in circulation were counterfeits.

This terrible figure is almost entirely to the credit of Germany, which used Jewish labor to print far more money in the printing house near Berlin than it had in the printing house itself in Britain for several years.

These counterfeit coins bring great convenience, anyway, just like the real thing, and many times they use them as if they were real, such as the bold action to rescue Mussolini and the subsequent rescue of Italian Foreign Minister Ziano, which cost Bernhard's counterfeit money. All kinds of espionage operations are being paid for with counterfeit money. Buy gold and food on the black market. Some of the counterfeit money was taken to the German embassy in a neutral country and exchanged for local currency......

These historical situations are not happening now, and Germany did not start a war on counterfeiting.

Because Germany has quickly conquered Britain and conquered Europe, although it is now in a time of war, but financial security is also quite important, when the whole of Europe uses the euro as a unified currency, it is even more terrible if counterfeit money appears.

Reinhardt has always been concerned about the inflow of any counterfeit money, and at the same time, the printing of the euro is quite complicated, drawing on the experience of later generations, the new euro has added a metal wire in the middle, which is a kind of initiative, and it also increases the difficulty of counterfeiting.

Ciric did not use the printing of counterfeit money as a means of attacking the enemy's economy, and it is certain that the currency would cause inflation, but this effect would be less when many items began to be rationed under military control.

And now, the islanders are actually whimsical and plan to print counterfeit money in US dollars, and of course Ciric wants to encourage this behavior of the islanders.

"That's a good plan." "The flow of these dollars into the United States is a huge financial panic, and it's a great job," Ciric said. ”

Hearing Ciric's words, Koga Feng smiled bitterly: "We have faked it, but it is not easy to enter the American market for circulation, and we have no channels." ”

The islanders are depressed.

As the war progressed, all trade between the island nation and the United States was interrupted, so that the dollar money printed by the island nation could not flow into the United States at all, and it could not affect the American economy.

Those Japanese Americans have been controlled by the Americans, and their movements are restricted, let alone to help circulate these dollars.

It can't be circulated, it can't flow into the United States, and it's useless to make it.

Historically, Germany had many channels, even through neutral countries, and the British were furious to find that many of the counterfeit banknotes even came from the Chilean embassy in London, the Portuguese consulate in Liverpool and the Argentine embassy in London.

Moreover, the Germans were able to exchange and use it directly in their own occupied areas, which was completely profitable.

The German way, the islanders cannot be copied.

Ciric nodded, the other party had come again.

"We know that Germany and the United States still have secret trade dealings, so we wondered if we could spend these dollars through you..."

Hearing this, in an instant, Ciric shook his head again and again, what are the dwarves of these island countries thinking in their heads?

It is not Germany that has dealings with the United States, but Europe and the United States, after all, it is impossible for the United States to cut off all trade, and there are some bold businessmen who have secret business with Europe.

It was possible to transit through places like South America, and the same was true in later history, where many merchants only saw interests and no state.

If they want to use Germany to help them spend this money, the island countries will definitely not spend it in vain, maybe they will say, just use this batch of fake dollars to repay the money that the island countries owed before, even if it is 500 fake dollars as 100 real dollars!

The benefits are all taken advantage of by them, how is this possible! Ciric, of course, would not agree.

"No, we German businessmen have always been honest, and now we are still working with the most honest businessmen, how can we fool them with fake dollars. This method does not work. Ciric refused.

At this moment, Kogamine's face was once again lost, if Germany did not help Hua, these dollars made by his own side would be useless.

"I have an idea." "Wouldn't it be better to throw balloon bombs anyway, just put them on the balloons and hang the dollars you printed?" ”

Give it away for free, it falls from the sky, and you don't believe that Americans don't pick it up!
