<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 213520, member: 2098&quot;]Just to note, you shouldn&#039;t depend solely on checking the security threads. High-end sophisticated counterfitters have been known to put strips into their bills and likewise if you find a bill without a strip it is not necessarily counterfeit as the strips can be removed and sliced/cut out of genuine notes. One of the best and oldest ways to detect a possible counterfeit is simply by feel. I have knowingly handled two counterfeit bills and I could immediately tell they were &quot;off&quot; just by feeling them. Another good way to quickly check several bills is by looking at the color-shifting ink while feeling the bill at the same time as you look at the shift. Of course with that all said if you come across a pre-1990 collector bill don&#039;t be alarmed as those don&#039;t have any of the modern features that today&#039;s bills have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
