The Art of Making Money
Monday, July 06, 2009
Jason Kersten discusses Art Williams, a counterfeiter who managed to defeat the security features of the 1996 hundred dollar bill, the most secure bill ever made, creating at a bill so perfect that even law enforcement had difficulty distinguishing it from the real thing. In his book, The Art of Making Money, Kersten describes the centuries-old art of counterfeiting, how Williams mastered it, and what led to his undoing.
Event: Jason Kersten will be reading and signing books
Tuesday, August 11th, at 7:00 pm
