It's not just Adobe that has implemented the blocking of currency note scanning, it appears. See Adobe confirms it's got counterfeit cash block.
A reader tells the INQUIRER that, curious about the restriction on copying banknotes, he attempted to scan in a £5 note using a TWAIN source and Paint Shop Pro version 8.
He said that when the scanning software tries to import the scan in Paint Shop Pro, the following screen appeared.
Thats me skint

skint?
that looks faked, it was the pixelated colours around the text that faked computer warnings and road signs you find on humour websites have. How could it tell you're scanning a picture of a bill though.
BTW, if skint is some kind of word that means you know that this is fake, sorry.

"Skint" is slang for "poor"...an alternative to the slang definition of "broke".

Image looks pixelated cos its optimised to save space and increase website speed, the whole thing is cut and pasted from a reliable source, but, if u think its fake, go ahead
