<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1729146, member: 12789"]I had an experience with a counterfeit $100 back in the fall of 2008 - I got it in the bank and noticed it was just a bit "off" handing it back to the teller and she insisted it was good. She slashed at it with that ridiculous pen and of course it turned out what she thought to be good because it was a bleached and overprinted $5 from the previous series that was not colourized and had Lincoln in the watermark. She tried to cover herself because passing a counterfeit as a bank teller is a serious offence - but I know the branch manager and she stepped in and took the $100 back. Fortunately that teller is still there, but I believe she checks her bills a lot more closely now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another tactic that forgers use is to spray hairspray on forged bills to thwart that stupid pen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
