bwahahaha see thats where the beauty is. For one thing, if you look at the bills under a microscope, its made of a special type of paper that's threads are red and blue. There's only one place in the world that makes that type of paper. There is also an algorithm, that goes into the unique numbering of each bill, so a photocopy would have duplicate numbers, which would eventually be figured out by the government and their tracking system. also on the new bills (you most likely do not have one of those), there is a silhouette of george washington inside the bill of you hold it up into the light.
