Red face Cautionary tale

My initial thought process for this comp was "Money down the drain" and I had intended to float my boats down a gutter to a drain (This was before my London based daughter supplied a variety of smart name carrier bags) Anyhow I clearly wasn't going to make paper boats out of real money so I popped a £20 on my Epson to make a copy:- it printed half the note and the a web address about forgeries. I tried scanning it and it refused point blank with more reference to forgeries. I eventually got round the problem by making a fairly random pattern out of 6 notes upside down, back to front etc, photographing them and then printing the image at 2 per page - it still wouldn't do 1 image per page. Today's copiers are obviously smarter than they look although I haven't yet had a visitation from the police so fortunately they don't go that far
