Rather, the markings enable the T-men to link a counterfeit bill to a particular printing machine in order to find and prosecute the counterfeiter.
I do not know the details - including the appearance and location - of these anti-counterfeit marks. It may be that some printers don't mark paper this way. It may also be that this secret marking only kicks in when certain colors - the kind that would be used to imitate money - are called for.
