<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 4243519, member: 2098&quot;]Maybe in the 1980&#039;s this was popular to do but $1 notes lack an embedded strip and watermark that is found in present-day currency. The truth of the matter is most counterfeiters are lazy and are content to use the paper in their inkjet printers. From there they can be easily sprayed with chemical compounds that throw off counterfeit detection pens. </p><p><br /></p><p>For counterfeiters who are not quite so lazy, $5 notes of Series 1999 - 2006 were the preferred denomination to bleach and try to pass off as a higher denomination as these contained similarly-placed security features as Series 1996 notes. The problem of $5 note bleaching was so prolific that the government made it a priority to modify the denomination&#039;s security features to make them distinct from $100 notes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well you&#039;re more than welcome to ask for and use as many dollar coins as you&#039;d like from your local bank. I have a teller at a bank who offers me dollar coins whenever I go in. I&#039;m not a big fan of them but I take them off her hands and use them around town or deposit them elsewhere if she has a lot to let go of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
