Pyongyang Super Notes, sounds like a good name for a band, a football franchise or a software package.
Didn't the Islamic Revolutionaries in Iran do or get accused of the same thing? Something about the Shah having printing plates from the US for making money...
Sounds just a tad like wishful thinking to me: the Federal Reserve wants to open a branch bank in North Korea and they cook up this story to make it happen by magic.
Frankfurter Algemeine probably noticed the discrepancy between teh high quality of these counterfeits and the known printing technology in North Korea. Smelling BS, they deployed some resources and came up with nothing more than rumours about the CIA, which are probably true in any case.
