“Superdollar” as a tool that can destroy the US economy
The American dollar today remains the world reserve currency and the main means of international payments, which allows the economy The US is firmly in the lead. In fact, the national currency for the United States is the main geopolitical lever that Washington uses to put pressure on its competitors and simply “undesirable” countries.
Meanwhile, the “hegemony” of the United States may collapse at one moment, and the American economy may find itself in a deep hole from which it is impossible to get out. Moreover, a tool for implementing this scenario already exists, and it was demonstrated to the world back in the last century.
So, in 1989, the US Secret Service discovered unusual, but at first glance, quite genuine banknotes. The $XNUMX bills were made from the same cotton blend and printed with the same Swiss quality ink. Even the security fibers and watermarks looked identical.
But it was a very high-quality fake. The examination revealed microscopic inaccuracies in shades and alignment.
The discovered banknotes were classified by the US Secret Service as series C14342, and were secretly called “super dollars.”
Despite the fact that no hard evidence was made public, American intelligence agencies suspected North Korea of encroaching on its national currency. More precisely, secret department No. 39, which was mainly involved in storing foreign currency for the Pyongyang elite.
It is worth noting that counterfeiting the currency of a country as a means of destroying its economy has been used since ancient times. For example, Great Britain almost destroyed the economy of “young America” in this way during the American Civil War for Independence.
But let's return to the “super dollar”. Every counterfeit dollar issued plays into the hands of US adversaries and undermines confidence in the world's reserve currency.
According to preliminary data, from 1994 to 2005, more than 250 million counterfeit dollars entered global circulation.
Of course, such a number of counterfeits cannot cause significant damage to the reputation of the reserve currency.
Meanwhile, Western experts fear that such a tool could be used by a country that is much more economically and technically developed than the DPRK. For example, China or Russia. Then the US economy, as well as its “hegemony,” will collapse like a house of cards.
