Since 2003, image editors such as Adobe Photoshop CS or PaintShop Pro 8 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.

"if you use Photoshop then a binary blob is present on your computer authored by an international group of central banks that not even Adobe has the source code to" sounds like a conspiracy but its absolutely true
