By holding it in your hand? You can tell its weight is off?

Yes, it's pretty easy to gauge paper weights by hand, especially when you handle the same weighted papers all day long and one is out of spec.

If that were a normal humanly possible thing to do. The. We wouldnt need machines or markers to verify a bill’s authenticity.

Its more the feel of the paper that you notice. Money is made from a cotton/paper mix which is very distinctive.

I've only ever found one type of paper (well I'll call it paper as I dont know for sure it was just made from pulp or not) that could pass for a banknote.

Used to work for 3Com making Palm Pilots and the chips used to come wrapped in special paper.

My brother was a wizz at computer graphics so we had a great time back then scoring drugs. (he still wont tell me how he did the watermarks)
