Science and forged money
Dr. Khachatur Manuykan
Assistant Research Professor
Department of Physics
University of Notre Dame
For millennia, money has been used as the primary medium for exchange in the West – and it has been counterfeited for just as long. Scientists at the University of Notre Dame are using particle accelerators, spectroscopic methods, and electron microscopes to study the counterfeiting methods used in historical coins and paper money. Join us as Prof. Manukyan shares some of the previously unknown counterfeiting methods that have recently been discovered.
