[QUOTE="kSigSteve, post: 2251969, member: 72008"]Hey CT, Thought this would make for a fun thread. I read a lot on here about counterfeits but never hear of any bills. Today I had a customer pay with this and unfortunately we accepted it. The bank caught it which resulted in $100 loss for us but always a great lesson learned. This bill in particular didn't raise any red flags at the restaurant level. It passed our pen test and visual inspection. The bill also had an embedded security strip stating USA 100. The bill also had the ghost face to the right. At the bank I was able to view two of the same bill (old style $100). A few signs that stood out; the security strip was much thinner and had a blury look to the font. The lips of Franklin also appeared sort of "stitched" and not crisp lines. This is only our second of the year. The first one we caught during payment, it was a $50 poorly put together. If you did not know all counterfeit bills are to be reported to the Secret Service using form SSF 1604. Post your counterfeit bills or a story related to an encounter with one you may have had.
