<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4546349, member: 66"]The $100 notes look real to me. One of the reasons they may be offerring them at a discount to face value (but that is a huge discount) is because the currency exchanges may refuse to accept them. Due to a fear of counterfeit notes many places will only accept $100's if they are brand new. Worn or wrinkled notes are looked upon with suspicion. Then you have the added problem here that these are older notes. They don't have the large portraits, no security strip, no watermark, no color shifting ink, and the first note is a 1934 that doesn't have IN GOD WE TRUST on it (plus the ink is darker than on current notes) And with most countries once a currency is changed the old currency is demonitized. They may worry that these note are no longer any good. Put all that together and it would not be surprising to have the notes refused for exchange.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
