Sort of hard to believe.
Since I live in the town where the paper is made, all I can say is that it took Crane & Company years and years working with the U.S. government to develop the paper and the embedded security found in the paper. Many feel that N. Korea lacks the technology to reproduce the paper, engraving or the printing. This makes the CIA angle the most intriguing. I don't work at Crane & Company, so I can't really comment on the security, except there are iron gates and guards stationed everywhere. No cameras are allowed inside the government mill. Even John Ratzenberger with his "Made in America" show couldn't get near where the finished product was.
There are some that are saying that the perfection of the so called supernote is somewhat exaggerated.
I think it's possible with today's laser engraving technology to possibly create the plates in an easier fashion than when they had to be created by an extremely skilled artisan. It would still be a lot of work though.
