Russian customs seize lorry loaded....

with Cannon color copy machines.

Mr.Boris Dolarwisky, local customs agent comments:

"If you consider that presently about 25 billion worth in real and fake $100 bills are dashed away or in circulation in Russia and the U.S.A may introduce soon new bills which incorporate DTI (Digital Tracing-Ions) to combat tax evasion and money laundering and on the other hand the 500 Euro note=$600 soon will hit our markets, this seizure is most logical. Or do you think Russian entrepreneurs are stupid?

Since we all know that crims prefer to travel light and if $1 million worth of cocaine weights about 44 pounds and $1 million in $100 bills weights about 20 pounds, then the new 500 Euro notes make a lot of sense to Weightwatchers Inc. and to our underground economy drillers.

Besides, since our guys all deal in cash when they buy property on the French Rivera they we are kind of tired to dish out their hard earned money in $100 notes."

You may win a vacation package in the Austrian Alps if you tell Eddy how much $1 million in $100 bills -converted- into 500 Euro notes would weight.
