<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 428772, member: 12789"]This morning I went to the bank and made the weekly grocery withdrawl. One of the $100's just didn't quite look right the ink was a bit off. I looked at it up against the overhead light, and sure enough, it was Abraham Lincoln's watermark, not Ben Franklin's. </p><p><br /></p><p>Someone had apparently bleached a $5 and printed the $100 over it. The crazy thing was handing it back to the teller and telling her it was a counterfeit, she did not believe me and used the counterfeit detector pen on it. Of course it appeared authentic according to the detector pen, because the paper was real. I had her look at the watermark, and sure enough. Fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it had been up to a $20 I would have kept it as a curiousity, but a $100 is a bit much to swallow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 428772, member: 12789"]This morning I went to the bank and made the weekly grocery withdrawl. One of the $100's just didn't quite look right the ink was a bit off.
