      i came across this explanation of it, haven’t verified it directly but he seems to make good content:

      he says theres identification each time you print using the yellow ink, and basically is a counterfeit currency countermeasure

      id kill to have a foss print setup though

        I know about the yellow dot thingy. Literally metadata on paper for no reason imo. I highly doubt a person could make a realistic fake through the use of a conventional printer.

        In the UK, we don’t even have paper money anymore, it’s plastic… Maybe it’s more of a USA skill issue, too?
