<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2168844, member: 36864&quot;]So maybe I&#039;m a bigger coin nerd than I thought. This past Wednesday I was playing pool with my pool team when a guy walks in and tries to buy a beer with a hundred. I was right next to the guy when he handed the bartender the money and I immediately recognized the bill to be counterfeit. I quietly let the owner know what was going on and they approached the guy about it. The guy takes off running, but several people juiced with liquid courage take off after him. Meanwhile the owner called the cops and they were on their way.&nbsp; We catch the guy after a few trips around the block and hold him until the cops get there. The cops cuff him and put him in the back of the car then come around to take a report. The cop looks at the bill and wonders what&#039;s wrong with it. The owner of the bar tells the cop that I told them the bill was counterfeit so he asks me what was wrong with the bill. Beyond the green being the wrong color green altogether, I point out about ten things that were wrong. I went and got my loupe out of my car by now and trained him how to better spot counterfeit bills. Turns out that this scam has lasted quite a while and has cost plenty of small businesses quite a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://m.wdsu.com/news/5-arrested-in-sophisticated-counterfeit-money-scheme-in-slidell/31762002" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://m.wdsu.com/news/5-arrested-in-sophisticated-counterfeit-money-scheme-in-slidell/31762002" rel="nofollow">http://m.wdsu.com/news/5-arrested-in-sophisticated-counterfeit-money-scheme-in-slidell/31762002</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Moral of the story:&nbsp; don&#039;t try to pass off counterfeit bills where coin collectors may hang out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
