Coin Changer Fraud in the '90s
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you all recall from the text files from the golden age of hacking,
|
|
there used to be a method for gaining free money from coin changers.
|
|
Depending on the the type of machine (the sliding tray kind or the more
|
|
modern kind that sucks ur bill in) you either had to notch the dollar or use
|
|
a long strand of tape to pull the dollar back out of the machine. These two
|
|
methods worked fine on machines manufactored in the '60s and '70s, but alas,
|
|
as technology progress, so must the con man. The chapter of the MYC saga is
|
|
designed to teach the modern man how to successfully rip of the coin changers
|
|
and vending machines you currently find throughout the country. This method
|
|
will not work if the machine only accepts one dollar bills. You need to find
|
|
yourself a machine that will change either 5 or 10 dollar bills. Once you've
|
|
located the machine of your choice, you're ready to make some petty cash.
|
|
|
|
Modern coin changers determine the validity of the bill by many
|
|
methods. Change machines are in no way cheap. First off, some machines
|
|
test the PH of the paper being inserted. If the PH doesn't match the PH of
|
|
American paper money, the bill's spit back out. Anybody with some chemistry
|
|
experience can easily adjust the PH of paper. This is the most common method
|
|
of testing for counterfeit bills. You know those little pens you can buy
|
|
that leave an amber mark on a bill and a blank mark on paper other than
|
|
currency? All that is is a cotton strip with corresponding PH to currency.
|
|
This is the method most grocery and conveinience stores used to validate
|
|
money.
|
|
|
|
The 2nd most common method of validating currency is to check the
|
|
degree of translucence of the paper. The machine pashes a beam of light
|
|
through the bill and measures the result. If the paper inserted doesn't
|
|
match the translucence of currency, again, the bill is regected.
|
|
|
|
One of the counter checks to these two methods is the physical
|
|
apperance of the bill being inserted. The machine "looks" at the left hand
|
|
numbers in the corners, and the portrait of the president, and matches it
|
|
against what's in it's memory. That's why they tell you "Insert Bill This
|
|
Way." If you insert a one dollar bill with the face of Old Abe on it, the
|
|
machine will think, "What the fuck?!" and spit it back out. The other most
|
|
common counter check is the to roll the bill back and forth between two
|
|
rollers. This way the machine can determine whether or not it's a single
|
|
piece of paper of multiple layers.
|
|
|
|
Now for the fun part! To bypass all these various checks and
|
|
balances, you do the following: First, copy a five or ten dollar bill
|
|
(whatever the machine accepts) and cut out the portrait of the president
|
|
and the the left hand numbers. Here comes the tricky part: Glue the portrait
|
|
and numbers to a one dollar bill. The problem is, most glue does not hold to
|
|
currency (I believe due to the type of ink). Try to find some Elmer's Stix
|
|
All. This shit will glue anything together, metal, wood, glass, fabric, you
|
|
name it (it's also great for making bongs, the fumes are non-toxic!). Make
|
|
sure the alignment of the portrait and numbers is precise, if you glue them on
|
|
crooked, it'll spit your money back at you. If you can't find any Elmer's,
|
|
then try to sand the face of the bill with fine sandpaper a little, just
|
|
enough to give the glue something to bond to. Your finished product is a
|
|
bill that matches the PH of currency, has the same degree of translucence,
|
|
and matches the requirements for a five dollar bill. Make a bunch up and
|
|
go have fun!!!!
|
|
|
|
In closing, the monetary gain from this scam isn't shit. Don't
|
|
expect to get rich quick by ripping off change machines. To me, this is
|
|
just teadious and pointless, unless you are flat broke. In that case, it
|
|
probably will be beneficial to make 4 dollars off of every dollar you can
|
|
scrounge up. I hope you enjoyed this file. The next file released by moi
|
|
will demonstrate another way to make a few quick bucks, this time with a
|
|
19 dollar return on the dollar. Look for it in a few days, I'm almost
|
|
done it as I write this.
