The irony here is it's a much worse federal crime to photocopy US currency.

You can get around this by making sure it's (much) smaller than the original and only copied on one side.

As you say, that refers to printed copies, photocopies etc. That isn't what the article is suggesting.

It's not so much a database as a pattern: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation
