<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1904257, member: 12789&quot;]There is a heightened fear of counterfeits with worn notes.&nbsp; In the USA I have only ever encountered one counterfeit from circulation - in a bank withdrawal in 2008 I received a counterfeit $100( a bleached $5 that had been then overprinted)&nbsp; But in E. Europe it is a lot more common to encounter such things.&nbsp; And they usually have to be artificially aged to give them that &quot;accepted&quot; look.&nbsp; With Ukrainian notes, the smaller denominations are not subject to so much scrutiny, but spend 100 hryven on up and cashiers in supermarkets will hold it under a UV light to check it.&nbsp; Spend dollars anywhere and they are very closely examined - and they better not have hard folds, tears, writing etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
