Ahhh, most excellent and timely my good Baron, this cash input will help meet my sudden need for liquid assests nicely
A great little item.
I printed out the small denominations page last night, thought about doing it the way you suggested (cut, glue, fold), looked at them again (and my aversion to unnecessary work
) and decided to try another way.
I let the ink dry thoroughly with the page pressed between a couple of the FFE reprint books (what else?
)
Then I trimmed the edge so that I could feed the page through again, flipped over to print the other side of each note. The exact measure will depend on your printer, you need to make sure the page will line up exactly once flipped over. Note the way the page feeds into your printer if you've not before. For example mine feeds with the printed side up and top of page down (feeds in first). Pretty standard I think. Again on mine, the left margin of the printed page was a little narrower than the right. So I had to trim to make them equal, then flip the page over (left for right) and feed it in top down. It worked beautifully. Then all I had to do was cut them out and I had my first batch of creds.
I have to run off to the bank and make a deposit now
These things are beautiful! I especially like the "foil" security feature. Nice touch and convincing enough. And a bit of serendipity, the ink saturation on the large denomination numbers wrinkled the paper just enough that if feels almost like a raised printing security feature. Very cool
The double sided printing method gives a nice see through effect when held up to light and keeps the notes paper thin. It also was much easier than the cut, glue, fold idea. It even saves paper
My thanks for the perfect pocket litter for our old game.
Just out of curiosity I'm wondering what size you intended them to come out at. Printing the small denominations as a full page on my printer, minus the margins, resulted in 10cm x 5cm. Nice even metrics and a very minimal foreign style currency size. Did I get the right size or just luck out with a happy printer/software combo
Edit: I was just looking at the large denominations page and it won't go the same scale as the small denominations page, least not in the few minutes I played with it. Just wondering if this is something you can fix on your end or if it's something I screwed up on this end. Not a big deal, though a few large bills may be handy.
Related to this, personally I'd rather have say a Cr5,000 and Cr10,000 than a MCr1 note. I mean, can you imagine reaching into your pocket for those couple of MCr1 notes and finding just a hole!
