No way

I categorically reject the idea that the CIA is counterfeiting U. S. currency and blaming it on North Korea:

SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea has charged the United States with counterfeiting its own currency and shifting the blame to Pyongyang, adding artists with “blood-shot eyes” in Japan are making cartoons attacking Pyongyang’s leaders.

A spokesman for the Ministry of People’s Security said in a statement the North had obtained “shocking evidence” Washington and Tokyo are producing false material that gives the impression Pyongyang is a criminal state, the North’s KCNA news agency said late Wednesday.

“The CIA secretly enlist(s) experts on counterfeiting notes claimed to be the ‘most sophisticated in the world’ and invite(s) them to issue lots of fake currencies at ‘counterfeit notes printing houses of North Korean-style’ operating in U.S. military bases in different parts of the world,” the spokesman said.

U.S. Treasury officials have briefed various governments about Washington’s suspicions that North Korea has for years been producing a high quality copy of its $100 bill. U.S. officials have dubbed the copy the “supernote.”

I completely believe that the CIA could think something like that up. I just don’t believe they could execute it very well.

UPDATE: I take it back. I’m definitely a believer. Here’s a replica of the CIA-produced bill:
