<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 444705, member: 6370"]I went in, I ordered, I paid with a 20. I tell the lady that I am going next door to buy a newspaper and I will return. I come back and another lady tells me I have to pay with something else as the bill I used is counterfeit. I asked her to tell me what makes her think the bill is counterfeit. She takes another bill she says is counterfeit and told me to feel it and mine...she says the bill feels wrong. </p><p> </p><p>I look it over and cant see anything wrong with it so I tell her I think its real and she needs to use it as it is legal tender. She wants to give it back to me, she is positive it it counterfeit and wants me to use a credit card. </p><p> </p><p>I just take the non confrontational route, let it go, take the bill move on. I am no expert with US currency but it just seems like a worn bill to me and I see nothing visibly wrong with it and she performed no test to show it was save to say it 'doesn't feel right'. I shouldn't have taken it back and just told her if she wants she can call the authorities and have them assess the situation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
