Counterfeiters Have to Up Their Game

Those fancy new California driver's licenses, which contain hidden images and a raised signature, are far more expensive for counterfeiters to reproduce, according to the Los Angeles Times. DMV Director George Valverde: "The cost to counterfeit the old California driver's license was $100 to $200. We think the cost to produce a new one by counterfeit is going to be astronomical because it's so difficult to do." Additionally, the cards are also proving harder for the manufacturers to make, so drivers have longer wait times until they get their new licenses. [LAT]
