<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1359619, member: 19065&quot;]Thanks for posting scans, but they are way too small to see anything you are describing, especially the supposed counterfeit. A lot of members host images on Photobucket, which offers free accounts. Images hosted there are not resized as much as CT&#039;s uploader scales them down when hosted on CT. Try scanning the notes again, at 300 dpi if you didn&#039;t do that already in your settings, and set the longest size of the image at no smaller than 600 pixels wide. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you feel you have a counterfeit note, you should send it in to the Secret Service for review. As I understand the procedure, if it&#039;s not fake then they do return the note eventually. I believe somewhere on CT there is an image of a returned note. Let us know how it turns out for you, but try to post bigger scans before you send it away.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="http://www.secretservice.gov/forms/ssf1604.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.secretservice.gov/forms/ssf1604.pdf" rel="nofollow">Counterfeit Note Report Form</a> [PDF]&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </b></p><p><b></b><b></b></p><p><b>&nbsp; </b></p><p><b>From: </b><a href="http://www.secretservice.gov/money_detect.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.secretservice.gov/money_detect.shtml" rel="nofollow">How to Detect Counterfeit Money</a> from Secret Service&#039;s <a href="http://www.secretservice.gov/know_your_money.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.secretservice.gov/know_your_money.shtml" rel="nofollow">Know Your Money</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for why someone in their &quot;right mind&quot; would do this, well, supposing as you have, that they were in the <i>right state of mind</i>, you&#039;re assumption is already invalid. For the counterfeiting of U.S. securities is a crime, and therefore those parties having counterfeited money are &#039;criminal minded&#039;, hence, <u>not</u> in their <i>right state of mind</i>. </p><p><br /></p><p>For whatever biases you may have towards certain neighborhoods and just because you came across said note when surrounded by peoples whom you clearly hold such biases towards, especially in that place, then it would be safer for you not to allow your bias towards them to outright suggest/pass judgement on them until you have proof the note is fake and better evidence of an operating counterfeiting ring for U.S. securities in that locale. If it&#039;s such an objectionable zone of questionable people, you&#039;d be doing your greater community a service by helping to rid the area of such a threat by submiting the note for review by the SS. Perhaps you, your transactions and money are safer spent elsewhere until then too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
