<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 419277, member: 8247&quot;]In Colombia, I frequently came across counterfeit $500 and $1000 peso coins.&nbsp; Normally I would catch them as someone tried to give them to me in change and I would ask for different coins.&nbsp; The $1000 peso coins got so bad that the Colombian government stopped making them and switched to $1000 peso notes.&nbsp; For reference, that would be similar to printing 50¢ banknotes here in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the paper money, I carry a small 365 nm UV Penlight with me.&nbsp; Almost got caught with a $5 from a gas station in Florida.&nbsp; Cashier was a little upset that I refused the bill and claimed she couldn&#039;t exchange it because she closed her drawer.&nbsp; I told her that wasn&#039;t my problem and I was getting ready to call the police on the cell phone when the manager heard what was going on, came over, and swapped the bill for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
