    Ironically, in Cambodia they DEMAND crisp, new USD. Ironically, its more likely for a crisp bill to be counterfeit.

    However, for whatever reason Cambodians will ONLY accept USD (from foreigners, anyways) that is completely minty fresh. I tried to pay for a Angkor Wat ticket with a $10 that was slightly wrinkled and the lady stonewalled me until I was able to fish out a brand new one.

    What a joke.

    Another "Typo." Would you believe that I was a Military Justice Court Reporter? All Records of Trial had to be letter perfect. In those days, the "Records of Trial" were typed on the blue mimeograph "paper" or "sheet". They had to be perfect, or I had to type them again, until I had a perfect sheet. Errors were corrected with a blue fluid that hardened and you could type over them again. Back then, I typed over 60 WPM on a manual typewriter. You can type a lot faster on the computer and most of the time, the computer would correct an error. "Typos" are a lot easier with spell check, unless the word or number is valid. I apologize to all that have been offended by my poor typing skill. Yes. I only had 75 $20 bills. And, yes, I meant to type "Typo".

    Found a site listed in another coin group (coinforum.com) that produces 'funny money' that they say will fool the marking pen. These guys are based in the San Fran bay area according to the telephone area code. They sell fake foreign currencies also. I bet the Treasury Dept. has a guy camped out in their parking lot 24/7.

    I never move from the teller's window or the drive thru until the
    cashier has counted the cash twice.

    Here’s a fun fact. In Cambodia, merchants of all kinds DEMAND crisp USD. They will literally refuse your payment unless the bill is BEP fresh. Despite the fact that crisp $20s are more likely to be counterfeit, Cambodians will often not accept any bill that isn’t so crisp you could build a house of cards out of it.

    I was paying for an Angkor Wat ticket with a SLIGHTLY wrinkled $10. It was series 2017, the newest one. The lady refused until I relented and gave a crisp one instead. It’s possible there was some racism involved (im part Chinese), but in general they really really want crisp bills.

  16. I have seen this alot, as of lately especially. I do alot of high end remodeling & I can count at least 4 weeks now (give or take) that I've cashed at $1500-$2000 check & get all consecutive numbers, no issues but I have had a few people question it, though they accept I can see yours & their scepticism
     
  17. That's interesting, from what I've heard it's harder to pass off counterfeit after being handled by many or pocketed so many times it'll lose its appearance... Meaning most can tell by then that the money was forged. Very interesting fact, thanks for sharing that

    I have gotten many notes like this. I always count any before I leave the bank. I ask to go to the secured room to count. Next, I have gotten many UNC star notes like this. . They were all consecutive $ 10.00-star notes. The next week I went back to cash my paycheck. The same thing happened again, but a new series of Ten star notes. I got then all they had. Both times their machine had been loaded with them.
