wrt to your first point: in the article, they say:
"Will 3D printers refuse to print parts, the way 2D ones are supposed to refuse to print bills? "
That's an interesting analogy, although the outcomes are not the same (and I doubt any 2D printer would be capable of duplicating a banknote anyway).
(That being said, I can't find any references to ink printers being unable to print bills- if anyone has additional info, that'd be very much appreciated!)
AFAIK, it's copiers, not printers. Color copiers in particular will fail with an obscure error code if you try to copy money. If you call that code in, your visitor won't be the technician...
(I used to make drivers for high end color copiers back when)
