This just popped into my head:
Many years ago I was listening to a sermon. The priest held up two pieces of paper. "What makes this one worth five pounds, and this one not?"
(I don't know what his text was; something like Ps.145:13, perhaps.)
The same man kept calling out:
"It doesn't have the watermark."
"It doesn't have the hologram."
"It doesn't have the silver strip down the middle."
Eventually, the priest peered down at him and boomed, "Are you an expert forger, sir?"
