Also, what is paper money made out of? It obviously can't be your standard cartridge paper

How do workers at a MINT refrain form stealing MONEY?
1. At the end of the shift, they pass through metal detectors. Within the workplace, no coins are used. Workers change their money to plastic tokens before they clock on, these plastic tokens are used in the canteen etc.



2. Specially manufactured security paper with holograms, watermarks etc.

Most money is made from a cotton rich paper which is treated in a number of ways.
Reply:My brother used to work in the mint where Kruger rands were minted.The security is so tight that going for a leak is a problem.There are cameras everywhere and the security personnel almost outnumber the staff. Paper money is made out of a special paper that resembles thin cloth.The exact composition and method of making remains a secret.
Reply:Realising that their well-paid job - and their freedom, ie not being in prison - is worth far more than the trifling amount they'd be able to stuff into their pockets without being spotted... particularly if they work on the coin line.



Last guy to try this managed to rip them off for all of about ￡5000 (all in one-pound coins) before his supervisor noticed the metallic noises coming from his shoes as he walked off the factory floor... He's now in jail.



The mints that make paper money have airtight security, and much of the process is automated... just like a newspaper printing press. Plus, if any notes from a batch go missing (quite easy to tell, even by weighing - paper is light, but it still has *some* weight), the whole lot can be marked void and the serial numbers circulated to shops, bars etc as invalid.



Besides, how much of a kleptomaniac would you have to be? It's exactly the same way that someone who works e.g. in a bar, a shop, a garage and deals with large amounts of money on a daily basis stops themselves from robbing the establishment... or how (most) bus passengers don't help themselves to the contents of the driver's change tray. It's stealing!
Reply:The paper is really hard to get, there is a close match that you can get but there is a lot more to counterfeiting than that.



I had a friend who was a junior at a bank and had to fill the cash machines every day, she said that it doesn't even feel like real money, you could just as easily be filling a photocopier.
Reply:I believe the paper used for money has cotton in it.

Which is why it doesn't disintegrate if you forget it in your pockets and put it in the wash.

Sorry, not sure about the other part.
