Romania apprehended a man law enforcement called the world’s best forger of high-security plastic banknotes.

The operation was part of a crackdown on a criminal gang allegedly counterfeiting cash previously thought to be almost impossible to accurately reproduce. Replicas of Romania’s one-hundred-lei bill were so good they earned the nickname Super Leu.
