If you scratch a normal $1 FRN, you will feel a texture to it. The same can be done with the 4 corners of the front of the bill. The bill also feels too white and is too see thru for normal. The ink on it is even slightly shifted to the left (just slightly) as you will see on the scan below. I have a counterfeit detection pen for times like these, but I am scared to use it in case the bill is real, it currently grades CHCU. That pen would probably bring down the grade... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> What I would like to know is, why on earth would anybody in their right mind want to counterfeit a $1?
