Default Hi & Question (Notes)

hi everybody, i'm a coin collector, but since 1 year i started collecting
some banknotes.

now my question is

how come so many dealers ( and many asians ) are selling hundred of
fresh-crisp banknotes (like printed yesterday)

where do they get 100 Lots of fresh 1/2/5 German Marks of 1918/1922 or for
example the 1/2/5/10 Austrian Kronen(spelling)


we have many fake circulation notes today, and the police of every country
hunting them and the makers, why couldn't they just start printing OLD notes
where every state would investigate less ?

you may say : in those times they printed Zillions, even 10.000 could come
fresh to us
OK ok, but where were they for 60-80-100 years ?

to me there is something wrong in all those lots coming fresh today


+ few days ago on an italian channel (Sky) they showed Naples police
arrested a professionist of the printing, he just got pages and pages of
fresh-high wuality (metal stripes included) Currently used Algeria notes ( i
dont remember if 500 1000 or 5000 dinars, they were red, with metal stripes
and something like a bull-buffalo )

with Police ending over this with : they might help the terrorism
(extremist-islamic)

i wouldnt be suprised if some h underd of those notes ( and not only
Algerian notes ) would end on ebay



thanks
