Odd thing happened with Photoshop tonight...

My fiance came home with one of the new 10 dollar bills that was released at the beginning of this month. As we gazed at it in awe due to all the pretty colors and new design he then decided to place it in our scanner so he could zoom the scan in for a better look at the details on the bill. Well, the oddest thing happened. After the scanning finished a message popped up on Photoshop stating that it would not open the scan due to unwanted counterfeiting.

We are using an ancient scanner and Photoshop CS V8.0. We never had this problem before. I guess the new bills have RFID chips or something in them that the computer or Photoshop detects.

woah, thats weird. maybe its like built in the scanner to not let any type of scanning and printing of bills. It thinks your going to print money and use it.

(I know that sentence sounds weird but o well)

I am not sure but maybe to prevent someone to make fake money the new bill might include some special ink???? Maybe???? I am not sure.....

the new bills are pretty sophisticated - I think I remember a bunch of guys at work trying to photocopy one and it doesn't photocopy!
