Well, the thing about photocopy machines not copying notes with the EURion constellation is right. But its not the same reason in photoshop, according to wikipedia:
“Users of recent versions of image editors, such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, discovered that these also refuse to print banknotes. According to Wired.com, the banknote detection code in these applications, called the Counterfeit Deterrence System (CDS), was designed by the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group and supplied to companies such as Adobe as a binary module. However, experiments by Steven J. Murdoch and others showed that this banknote detection code does not rely on the EURion pattern. It instead detects a digital watermark embedded in the images, developed by Digimarc.”

If a person wanted to print fake money (at least in the US) they could just use ones. Any large amount of money would more than likely be checked for being fake and shy of having the printing machines, paper, washing the ink off of ones to reprint, and having the magnetic strips to insert between the two parts, it’s pretty close to impossible. The thing is, most people that you’d be giving counterfit money to will be store clerks and people that you’d never have to see again. One dollar bills do not have the EURion constellation, no magnetic strip, and the old style of background. So just print off some fake ones, wrinkle them up a bit, and mix them in with your other bills (or mix only one at a time so you can say ‘someone must have given me this in change at that gas station!’) Counterfitting isn’t that good of a ‘money making’ (ha shitty pun) scheme. Honestly stealing things from Walmart and selling them on eBay would be easier and more lucrative.

I am not asking anyone to go for Adobe’s product, neither I am asking to go away from them. Its just a post to explain the concept of EURion constellation.

If a currency note doesn’t contain the EURion constellation, it can technically be printed. But all the new currency notes does contain EURion constellation, so you need not worry about that :)

hii mayur,
while reading regarding EURion constellation on wikipedia i found that there are some notes (even big notes of 100 and 500 also) which do not have this EURion constellation… so why r u totally refusing this.. i mean to say it may be possible for these notes to print…
