What goes into printing cash notes we handle on a regular basis? And is there a possibility that the value of the $100 is worth less than what it’s labeled due to mass undetectable counterfeiting?

Well there’s the special paper only made for the government. It chemically reacts to a type of marker.
The metallic ink, color changing ink, raised printing, micro text, plastic insert, and hidden image you only see when held up to a light, are also insanely hard to reproduce.
Fakes are out there, even decent ones, but not nearly enough to have a significant effect the economy, $100 buys $100 worth of goods. With over 2 Trillion dollars worth of cash in circulation it’d take a massive amount of fraud to make a dent.
