Counterfeiting as a weapon

I'd heard about the fake $100 bills before. In fact, that's my understanding as to why they were redesigned a few years ago. But the rumor that I'd heard was that the source was Iran, and not North Korea. It seems that just a short time before he was deposed, the Shah had purchased a few high-grade American-style printing presses for his bills, (supposedly identical to the ones that this country uses). When the priesthood overthrew him, they put 'em to good use. And that's why they were so accurate.
