There are several famous examples of counterfeit dollar notes in history. Among them:

In 2005, Peruvian Banks started not accepting $100 bills from the series CB-B2 issued 2001. They were so well made that they were dubbed the "perfect fakes" by the Peruvian media. The differences between them and genuine bills are very small and difficult to detect [1]. It is said that an actual printing plate from the U.S. mint was stolen by a Pakistani mafia [2], with possible links to al-Qaeda, and was used to produce these bills.

Bills forged by Anatasios Arnaouti in the UK.
