What if communist countries had decided to wage economic warfare against capitalist countries by forging their currency? They could use the currency to purchase goods from abroad, weaken capitalist economies, and score some propaganda victories. At the same time, communist countries would be relatively immune to direct reprisals, as they don't use currency for as many things (some not even at all). Domestically central planning and/or rationing would offer a defense, and internationally bartering was common for communist countries.
