I always wondered: how does that work? When what you're selling is worth what it's worth, and no profit seems possible. Wouldn't the buyer want to spend less on the conterfeits than they're "worth"? And in that case, why would the sellers accept that, if what they made is "worth" more? And if the buyers spend more on the conterfeits than they're "worth" then why not just keep the real money? Is the risk of using it calculated in? What about the cost of manufacture? If the counterfeiters spend a lot on making it, they have to sell it for more, but how much more in relation to how they made?
It just seems really stupid to me, unless you're buying an item with counterfeit money, or you're making it strictly to use by yourself.
I'm sure it's really obvious, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

The cost per bill is only a buck or two, so you print a counterfeit bill, and pass it off at the local Safeway as a normal $20. $18 profit per transaction.

But what about someone buying them knowingly, on purpose? You stand to gain nothing, unless you buy it at middleman prices (like $15 per $20 bill).

I'm sure it's really obvious, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Okay, let's say I knowingly buy counterfiets at 10 cents on the dollar. If I buy 100,000 dollars, I pay 10,000 dollars. Let's say it cost 2,000 to make the 100,000. I made a 90,000 dollar profit and the seller made 8,000 dollars. Everyone benifits.

Well, no one really benefits. Short run, you do.
Long run everyone is ******** the market with counterfeit bills, destroy the economy.
Anyway, not like someone needed to flood ours with counterfeit to ******** it up. People in charge did that pretty well, and legal too.
