Synopsis
This book is about the most precious piece of paper we know, about bank-notes. Modern life would be unthinkable without them. Yet, the general public is kept very much in the dark about how they are made or who makes them. It is rarely known, for example, that despite America's technical Prowess all dollar bills are printed exclusively on German high-security printing presses using secret Swiss special inks, or that the phony 100 dollar bills, the so-called supernotes may well be printed in a top-secret printing works located just north of the white House and run by the CIA - although the US government is blaming the rogue government of North Korea for counterfeiting these bills. This book is finally lifting the veil on an industry used to absolute secrecy. It recounts the stories of a British banknote printer who, fearing the loss of his customer, informed the Egyptian secret service that the securities printing machinery the Egyptians were about to buy was of Jewish origin; of a private printer who convinced the Polish central bank that it should destroy a complete series of new, perfect banknotes which had been printed by a competitor, or of an Argentinean high-security printer who came to print genuine fake bank-notes for Zaire and Bahrain as a result of two sting operations, which smell of the Belgian and French secret service. Moneymakers, by offering a detailed view of the banknote industry and its modus operandi, removes the industry's carefully imposed shroud of secrecy. This book has been researched over a five-year period in Europe, the USA, and Latin America. The book is based exclusively on personal Interviews and confidential mate4rial normally not accessible to outsiders. There were attempts to stop this research project. Klaus W. Bender has peered behind the scenes of the Secret and exclusive world of the moneymakers. - Financial Times Deutschland, 2004 The errors and pitfalls at the birth of the euro make Bender's research so unnerving. - Suddeutsche Zeitung, 2004 Bender does not mince his words when he describes abuses - and there are lots of them. - Neue Zurcher Zeitung, 2004, This book is about the most precious piece of paper we know, about bank-notes.

Aber es gibt auch kaum einen anderen Wirtschaftszweig, der sich derart hermetisch gegen die Blicke der -ffentlichkeit abschirmt, von Geheimnissen umgeben ist, wie der Druck der Banknoten. Die Herstellung des Sicherheitspapiers und der Banknotendruck bilden den Kern dieser Hochsicherheitsbranche. Unter den Begriff Sicherheitsdruck f llt noch sehr viel mehr: Schecks, Wertpapiere, P sse, Personalausweise, Lotterielose, Eintrittskarten f 1/4r Gro Yveranstaltungen, Flugtickets - und seit einigen Jahren sogar die mit Magnetstreifen oder Chip ausger 1/4steten Plastikkarten f 1/4r Zugangskontrollen sowie die Karten der Krankenversicherungen. Alles an dieser Branche ist streng vertraulich. Die hier verwendeten Druckmaschinen und das Papier d 1/4rfen nirgends sonst eingesetzt werden. Neben dem sachlich gebotenen Sicherheitsbed 1/4rfnis gibt es noch einen weiteren Grund f 1/4r die Geheimniskr merei der Branche: Die Hersteller, staatliche wie private, m chten sich nicht in die Karten schauen lassen. Genau dies aber hat Klaus Bender getan. In seinem spannenden Buch weiht er seine Leser in einige Geheimnisse der Zunft ein. Denn die -ffentlichkeit hat ein Recht auf eine gewisse Transparenz: Schlie Ylich geht es in diesem Gewerbe immer auch um die Verwendung von Steuergeldern.
