#1 There are various aspects to the problem. For one, intelligence agencies have been unable to pinpoint what Pakistan has done with the 4 kg of "green to blue (colour shift)" Optically Variable Ink a patented product of a Swiss manufacturer ostensibly for a security feature in its passports. This is the same ink India uses for currency notes of the Rs 500 denomination. One kg of ink can produce 32 lakh notes.

#2 I think we now know what the Paks used the ink for... and it was not for passports..

#3 Well it fits
Cuba manufactures rag paper that matches that of US currency and spreads it all over the world.

Cuba may counterfit US money.
Iran counterfits US money.
North Korea counterfits US money.
It would not surprise me if Pakistan does as one wonders what they sell on the world market to generate revenue other than scams like BCCI.

#6 Maybe we should drop trillions of counterfit Rupees on the Emirate of Wara-whaever-a-stan.
