<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 213556, member: 8247&quot;]I was looking for a quick way to check a lot of bills quickly.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been collecting paper money since I was a kid and feel that I would be able to spot 99% of counterfeits out there upon close inspection.&nbsp; I feel I would be able&nbsp; to spot most poor counterfeits at a glance just by a quick touch or look.&nbsp; It&#039;s the high quality counterfeits I was worried about.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I&#039;m going to a bank and getting some 20 $100 bills every week, I don&#039;t really want to stand there looking at each and every one and going by just gut instinct.&nbsp; I see all these restaurants using these pens that check for the denim, but I know for a fact I would spot a counterfeit using the wrong paper (that&#039;s just too easy).&nbsp; A good counterfeitor would use denim either by making it themself, or washing bills like Iraqi Dinars.</p><p><br /></p><p>I felt that if every bill I received had the correct color, florescing security thread, the odds of me getting burned drop dramatically.&nbsp; Plus, since I&#039;m in a bank, what trouble is it to them if I ask them to change a bill I just received from them when I&#039;m still standing in front of the teller.&nbsp; It only takes seconds for me to check the color on a huge stack of bills.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the $5&#039;s, $20&#039;s, and the $50s, it appears that with the pen light I have, I can see the color of the strip in broad daylight.&nbsp; The $10&#039;s are difficult to see the orange in the daylight, but I can see them just fine in a dim room.&nbsp; The $100&#039;s for some reason I cannot see the color at all in a pitch black room.&nbsp; From now on, I&#039;m going to stick to getting $50&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I think I may have a Mule.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found 3 $20&#039;s now with an orange thread.&nbsp; It&#039;s the exact same color as the $10&#039;s, but the writing is correct for a $20 bill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
