[QUOTE="jlg1130, post: 1360267, member: 26655"]While that may be true, I'm sure that that is the exception, and not the rule. I have a couple of close friends who have worked in banks for many years, and who know their stuff. They would know a fake if they saw one. However, full disclosure, they are also currency buffs. Besides, you can always get a second opinion. If you bring the note to a bank, they say it's real, and you still don't totally buy it, try to find a local coin/currency dealer to give you his/her take on it. Also, you don't have to make a special trip out of it, or anything, and "waste gas" driving down to the bank. If it were me, I would just set the note aside, until the next time I had to go to the bank. No sense in going out of your way. None of this, by the way, is meant to discount Travis' knowledge of paper money. He seems to me to really know his stuff, and I'm sure he can spot a fake, just as good as any currency dealer, or banker. People are merely throwing their ideas out there, myself included, and giving an opinion. Even the most knowledgeable enthusiast gets tripped up, now and then. I don't think anybody doubts Travis's knowledge. At least I don't. Cheers! :)[/QUOTE]
