  • North Korea and the Supernote Enigma
    North Korea and the Supernote Enigma Allegations that North Koreans are counterfeiting U.S. currency By Gregory Elich Region: Asia Global Research, May 07, 2008 Theme: Global Economy Korea Policy Institute 7 May 2008 In-depth Report: NORTH KOREA North Korea, it is often said, is a criminal state. One of the more persistent stories supporting that allegation is that the North Koreans are counterfeiting U.S. currency. Through repetition, the claim has taken on an aura of proven fact. This in turn has been cited as justification for everything from imposing punitive measures against North Korea to suggesting that the nation cannot be trusted as a partner in nuclear negotiations. The evidence against North Korea is widely regarded as convincing. “The North Koreans have denied that they are engaged in the distribution and manufacture of counterfeits,” says Daniel Glaser of the U.S. Treasury Department, “but the evidence is overwhelming that they are. There’s no question of North Korea’s involvement.”1 There is no denying that North Korean citizens have been caught passing counterfeit currency in Europe and Asia, and some defectors from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK — the formal name for North Korea) claim to have first-hand knowledge of state-run counterfeiting operations. In Western media reports the case is treated as proven. Yet the closer one examines the matter, the murkier the picture becomes. Counterfeit currency attributed to North Korea raises deep concern due to its extremely high quality. Dubbed supernotes, their production process closely matches that of the genuine article, and the engraving is so fine it rivals that of the U.S.

  • North Korean Counterfeiting of U.S. Currency
    North Korean Counterfeiting of U.S. Currency Dick K. Nanto Specialist in Industry and Trade June 12, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33324 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress North Korean Counterfeiting of U.S. Currency Summary The United States has accused the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) of counterfeiting U.S. $100 Federal Reserve notes (Supernotes) and passing them off in various countries, although there is some doubt by observers and other governments that the DPRK is capable of creating Supernotes of the quality found. What has been confirmed is that the DPRK has passed off such bills in various countries and that the counterfeit bills circulate both within North Korea and around its border with China. Defectors from North Korea also have provided information on Pyongyang’s counterfeiting operation, although those statements have not been corroborated. Whether the DPRK is responsible for the actual production or not, trafficking in counterfeit has been one of several illicit activities by North Korea apparently done to generate foreign exchange that is used to purchase imports or finance government activities abroad. Although Pyongyang denies complicity in any counterfeiting operation, at least $45 million in such Supernotes thought to be of North Korean origin have been detected in circulation, and estimates are that the country has earned from $15 to $25 million per year over several years from counterfeiting. The illegal nature of any counterfeiting activity makes open-source information on the scope and scale of DPRK counterfeiting and distribution operations incomplete.

  • Drug Trafficking and North Korea: Issues for U.S. Policy
    Order Code RL32167 Drug Trafficking and North Korea: Issues for U.S. Policy Updated January 25, 2007 Raphael F. Perl Specialist in International Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Drug Trafficking and North Korea: Issues for U.S. Policy Summary At least 50 documented incidents in more than 20 countries around the world, many involving arrest or detention of North Korean diplomats, link North Korea to drug trafficking. Such events, in the context of credible, but unproven, allegations of large scale state sponsorship of drug production and trafficking, raise important issues for the United States and its allies in combating international drug trafficking. The challenge to policy makers is how to pursue an effective counter drug policy and comply with U.S. law which may require cutting off aid to North Korea while pursuing other high-priority U.S. foreign policy objectives including (1) limiting possession and production of weapons of mass destruction; (2) limiting ballistic missile production and export; (3) curbing terrorism, counterfeiting, and international crime; and (4) addressing humanitarian needs. Reports that the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea (DPRK) may be limiting some of its food crop production in favor of drug crop production are particularly disturbing given the country’s chronic food shortages, though the acreage in question is comparatively small. Another issue of rising concern is the degree to which profits from any North Korean drug trafficking, counterfeiting, and other crime-for-profit enterprises may be used to underwrite the costs of maintaining or expanding North Korean nuclear and missile programs. As the DPRK’s drug trade becomes increasingly entrenched, and arguably decentralized, analysts question whether the Pyongyang regime (or any subsequent government) would have the ability to effectively restrain such activity, should it so desire.

N. Passaro Received: 5 January 2017; Accepted: 4 February 2017; Published: 8 February 2017 Abstract: Despite a decrease in the use of currency due to the recent growth in the use of electronic financial transactions, real money transactions remain very important in the global market. While performing transactions with real money, touching and counting notes by hand, is still a common practice in daily life, various types of automated machines, such as ATMs and banknote counters, are essential for large-scale and safe transactions. This paper presents studies that have been conducted in four major areas of research (banknote recognition, counterfeit banknote detection, serial number recognition, and fitness classification) in the accurate banknote recognition field by various sensors in such automated machines, and describes the advantages and drawbacks of the methods presented in those studies. While to a limited extent some surveys have been presented in previous studies in the areas of banknote recognition or counterfeit banknote recognition, this paper is the first of its kind to review all four areas. Techniques used in each of the four areas recognize banknote information (denomination, serial number, authenticity, and physical condition) based on image or sensor data, and are actually applied to banknote processing machines across the world.

  • The “Sopranos State”? North Korean Involvement in Criminal Activity and Implications for International Security
    THE “SOPRANOS STATE”? NORTH KOREAN INVOLVEMENT IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY SHEENA E. CHESTNUT HONORS PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND COOPERATION STANFORD UNIVERSITY 20 MAY 2005 ii Abstract North Korea has a decades-long record of official involvement in drug trafficking, is reported to produce the world’s best counterfeit $100 bills, and allegedly manufactures counterfeit products such as cigarettes and pharmaceuticals. Amid discussions of the regime’s nuclear and missile programs, economic mismanagement, and appalling human rights record, however, the structure and importance of criminal activity in the D.P.R.K. has been overlooked. This thesis first attempts to establish an empirical basis for assessing North Korean involvement, and second seeks to answer interpretive questions about the nature and significance of the D.P.R.K.’s relationship to criminal activity. It concludes that the D.P.R.K. government is engaged in systematic pursuit of criminal activity distributed across different organizations within North Korea and probably managed by organs of the Central Party Committee. The regime’s pursuit of such activity appears to be primarily for the purposes of financial survival and is highly adaptable. Illicit activity’s role in financing the North Korean regime, and in connecting it to transnational networks of criminal organizations, raise serious implications for a range of international security issues, including the current negotiations and the risk of nuclear transfer. In addition, this behavior calls into question the assumption found in political science literature that criminality is a result of state weakness, and calls for a revised understanding of the relationship between the strength of domestic institutions and state employment of transnational criminal activity.

  • North Korean Counterfeiting of U.S. Currency
    Order Code RL33324 North Korean Counterfeiting of U.S. Currency Updated April 16, 2008 Dick K. Nanto Specialist in Industry and Trade Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division North Korean Counterfeiting of U.S. Currency Summary The United States has accused the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) of counterfeiting U.S. $100 Federal Reserve notes (supernotes) and passing them off in various countries. This is one of several illicit activities by North Korea apparently done to generate foreign exchange that is used to purchase imports or finance government activities abroad. Although Pyongyang denies complicity in any counterfeiting operation, at least $45 million in such supernotes of North Korean origin have been detected in circulation, and estimates are that the country has earned from $15 to $25 million per year over several years from counterfeiting. The illegal nature of any counterfeiting activity makes open-source information on the scope and scale of DPRK counterfeiting and distribution operations incomplete. South Korean intelligence has corroborated information on North Korean production of forged currency prior to 1998, and certain individuals have been indicted in U.S. courts for distributing such forged currency. Media reports in January 2006 state that Chinese investigators have independently confirmed allegations of DPRK counterfeiting. For the United States, North Korean counterfeiting represents a direct attack on a protected national asset; might undermine confidence in the U.S. dollar and depress its value; and, if done extensively enough, potentially damage the U.S. economy. The earnings from counterfeiting also could be significant to Pyongyang and may be used to purchase weapons technology, fund travel abroad, meet “slush fund” purchases of luxury foreign goods, or even help fund the DPRK’s nuclear program.
