What should you do when you catch a ten-years-old brat fumbling
with the scanner, tongue clenched between his teeth, intent at
picking up a $5 bill with the patent intention of getting from
it a decent run to be spent at the video-games shop?
Normally you get rid of the problem (maybe with some finesse too)
by just warning tactfully enough his legal responsibles, so that
the whelp's attention can be recalled on the ethic and civil considerations
involved in his prospective action.
Which is someway less easy if the young criminal stuns you by
staring at you with utterly innocent eyes and, affectionately
calling you daddy, hands you two $5 bills that would pass any
not-too-close check, asking in return a $10 - not in order to
swindle you, of course, just to get hold of a new model for further
experiments.
The
main problem is then not to burst in laughter before so much fascinating
spontaneous criminality, and to keep playing adult thoroughly,
stiff face, stern tone and all the rest.
The other problem, not to be underrated, is to avoid yourself
the perverse enticement of the game. Or, should you be too weak
to resist and too jinxed to avoid being caught at it, to hastily
contrive a persuasive explanation for your evil conduct.
This
way, as by chance, long time ago came the not-so-common
Nosepol.com Christmas wish
cards. And there they remained.

Although
the jpeg algorithm is quite effective, the files
are pretty large and while downloading them some
patience is required (with some providers, even
plenty of patience). Don't blame us for that: had
we reduced them any further, your printed version
would be a sorry mess.
Each file contains both sides of a bill. In order
to adequately impress your friends, some color test
should be run first (each printer behaves its own
way); then the two sides can be printed on the same
sheet at a decent resolution (300 dpi or more),
carefully cropped leaving some small margin, and
mounted together using a spray glue. A final careful
trimming to the actual bill size will conceal (within
reasonable limits) any mounting inaccuracy.
The
italian lire are no more spendable, but
please avoid spending the dollar.
