ROLLER PRESS FOR PAPER MONEY?

  Howard A. Daniel III writes: "The Numismatist article, 
  "The Coin Roller Experiment" by John Roberts in the 
  December 2004 issue grabbed my interest because of paper 
  money and not coins.  There were several pieces of paper 
  money printed on mulberry bark paper in Viet Nam during 
  the very late 14th century.  All of my research shows 
  the Vietnamese copied the Chinese method of wood and/or 
  metal block printing but the Vietnamese have a roller 
  printing press set up in a museum to show how their 14th
  century paper money was printed.  I'm VERY sure it is a
  concoction, but would like to hear from anyone who knows
  of roller printing presses for thick mulberry bark-like 
  paper, and I can be reached at HADaniel3 at msn.com."
