<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CaptainMK, post: 4595953, member: 106822&quot;]When I worked retail back in the day, they had a full seminar of how to catch counterfeit bills, the amount of work some people put into making some of these is crazy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a boss of mine almost pass 5 $20 fake bills, these were well done fakes for sure and the counterfeiter knew the older $20 lacked the new security features of current bills. They were all crinkled to give the illusion of worn money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed that they lacked the feel for sure but what a lot of people don&#039;t know is that us currency purposely puts small colored fiber in there bills to signify they are legit as well, another countermeasure which cannot be replicated on a printer (now printers are designed to not scan or print US currency, learned that when I was a copier tech). These bills lacked the fibers. I walked to the game store next door to borrow their bill pen as we didn&#039;t have one, when I came back, the man saw I had a bill pen and swiftly walked out the door.</p><p><br /></p><p>We called the police dept which confiscated the bills and we gave the store video footage. Never knew what happened to the man. I always wondered if they think, is it worth time in jail for $100.....I guess they don&#039;t care much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
