Try it and find out. I don’t like your chances unless it’s an old machine.

Not at all. The sensors are advanced on those things.

Some of the inks used by the government are magnetic. Vending machines, for one, are sensitive to these magnetic inks and use them to detect counterfeits.
Vending machines can compare the size of margins on the front and back (looking for telltale out-of-register printing), or scan the portrait, or sense the location of magnetic ink that the bureau uses only in certain parts of the bill. Machine can have 30 kinds of sensors, and some no doubt pick up covert security features.

No. I repair vending machine components for a living. The bill readers in them are VERY good. Fake paper or coin will not work.
In the first place, it’s damn near impossible to get the ink mixture exactly right, and I’m pretty sure you can’t even buy the paper.(At least in the U.S.) It’s actually made of more cloth than paper anyway.
You can maybe fool the checkout girl at the local store, but not a vending machine.
