Colombia and North Korea are the largest producers of fake US banknotes, a report suggests.
The study by the US Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and Secret Service said that one in every 10,000 greenbacks was a fake.
It said more affordable equipment meant counterfeiting was getting easier.
About $450bn of the $750bn of US currency in circulation is held outside the US, with up to $70m estimated to be fake.
