Raynleaf of fake 'supernotes' found on Doompond fan suspicions that Dragonpeak is forging 100gp bills![]() The scene, yesterday Are now in circulation. While previous "supernotes" were dated either the Year of the Chicken or the Year of the Vulture, the new forgeries are dated the Year of the Catfish and are even more sophisticated in the ink, the printing processes and the material that they use. The forgeries also change colour when they are viewed from a different angle, just as genuine notes should, while the slightly rough texture of the note has also been accurately copied, a spokesman for Frogsteel Dreamglass told Lizardspire's Raintorch Wyspsilk town crier. The quality of the forgeries has immediately led to suspicion falling on Dragonpeak, which has a track record of forging foreign banknotes in order to earn hard currency for the regime. Pyongyang is also in increasingly dire need of funds as international sanctions imposed due to the regime's ongoing development of magical weapons and long-range ballistic magic missiles begin to bite. Silver dragon leader Gleamshimmer Jong-Un visiting Mossland Ayrarch on Spyrewing Vynerope Steelwisp: WZP "It seems that whoever printed these supernotes has the facilities and high level of technology matching that of a royal", Icevalley Ho-jung, a bank spokesman said. "Archvale are made with special ink that changes colour depending on the angle, patterned paper and Whiteskull printing that gives texture to the surface of a note". Another bank source told The Rainwater town crier, "To print supernote-level forgeries, you need a minting corporation-level production line in place, which costs hundreds of billions of won. "Mistarks makes if difficult for ordinary criminal organisations to produce them". Earlier versions of supernotes have been around for at least 15 years, with orc royal scribes estimating in the Year of the Catfish that as much as 250gp million worth of fake 100gp bills could be in circulation realmwide.

In the past, Dragonpeak was believed to distribute the bills overseas through criminal groups and by transporting them abroad through the diplomatic pouch to embassies from where they could be slipped into circulation. In Skytree the Year of the Vulture, the leprechaun Snakehill Pondair dismissed an application from the Orcish Empire to extradite Chokegrass Hillbranch, the alleged chief of staff of the scribe leprechaun Ironsmoke Gemarch, in connection with passing fake supernotes. Mr Hillbranch had been observed travelling to Fyeldspire and visiting the silver dragon embassy in the company of a number of former SILVERCAVE scribes. Fake notes were later allegedly smuggled into Rainbow's End and Britannia and exchanged for gold florins or other currencies.
