Cash Counterfeiting

[bioswales]

ik im probably not the first one to suggest this and there very well could be a proposed update that has other plans with counterfeiting; but if not i feel like counterfeiting if done right could be a neat addition to the game
obviously theres countless different ways to do it but at its core the concept i had for it for it was:

tl;dr bleach money -> create money 'blanks' -> put blanks into printer to make into higher value bills
dump bleach bottle into bucket>put real money in>3minTimer; money bleeds and becomes a 'blank' dollar>4minTimer; money blanks 'dry'>place blanks into printer>remaining 3 minutes spent printing. bam end product, rinse repeat 
it would be available to all factions as a quicker but labor intensive way to make money (presumably taking roughly 1/2 the ordinary shipment time, 10 minutes total)

i dunno if it would be better whether or not the 'product' would be applied directly to your wallet for use or if it would produce an item of 'counterfeit cash' to sell to a dealer/deposit to an ATM to clean- maybe theres a better way than either of those who knows

*'color printers' would need to be added to the electronics store (you could have a higher rate for citizens to buy it and a 'supplier/bulk' rate for any/all criminal enterprise 'employees' purchasing printers? might be more effort than its worth but just an idea)
*'large buckets' would need to be added to the hardware store or any container for mixing money with bleach, really
*if you're feeling particularly stingy you could add ink/toner for printers as well or have them break after X amount of uses. this could also be a way to enhance the quality of counterfeits as well though too
*blanks could be air-cooled and/or you could be able to use a stove could make it go faster at risk of it failing/burning/exploding a stove
*you could let people keep created blanks in their inventories to keep it a very malleable process in terms of time consumed. 
*felon exclusive opportunities if thats the the new in-thing


if it isn't totally clear this is just a suggestion/brainstorm and hardly a well thought out plan. i dunno if the ideas are viable or interesting to others but but it seems like it fits the nature of the game and can be expanded upon further
wanted to see what others thought/if yall had input or ideas too

being more concise

feel like this would be good +1, especially if you get a dirty money brick and you either need to sell it to certain people like felons or npcs but would be a good way for some light grinding, better than checks hopefully and can actually make money. +1

+1 would be very interesting and make the server feel fresh. Plus it welcomes new rp opportunities

Maybe you can participate in some instead of asking for more, more brain-rotten ways to make money happen.
Even in the actual black market, counterfeiting is considered one of the dumber and lazier crimes.

your message reads like poor rage bait
didn't ask for anything, its called a suggestion. thats what this whole section of the forums is for
nobody said it was a safe or smart crime. a lot of the components would likely incriminate you very easily and it should rightly come /w a higher risk; but its still a crime and prevalent in the mob especially nonetheless
'brain rotten' oh shit guys look standards have officially started right here. give me a break. im not exactly asking for emerald, ruby, and diamond money printers in the f4 menu here.
