"Counterfeiting is, fortunately, no longer likely to see the perpetrater burned alive or hung, drawn and quartered," Mohinder told the class cheerfully.

"It's a lucrative market and there are as many attempts to forestall copies - digital coding in music, holograms and strips in banknotes," said Mohinder, holding up a note in one hand, "As there methods for detecting fakes. Of course," he shrugged, flicking open a lighter with the other, "knowing the fake burns with a different flame," and lit the banknote, "can be less than helpful."

"You'll want to take note of the details - handwriting or printing traits, stamps, postmarks, inks that don't match the rest of the document, details that are ahistorical - words that weren't yet coined, sketches of objects that didn't yet exist." He settled back at his desk, smiling, "After all, you wouldn't want to make the same mistakes."
