<p>[QUOTE="Emoticon, post: 1520637, member: 38428"]I just got done watching To Live and Die in LA the other day with its notoriously accurate counterfeiting scene printing the old style green seal $20's (see below if you haven't seen the movie). I got to thinking what happens if you bought a counterfeit note by accident and unknowingly submit it to a grading service like PCGS and they detect it as a fake? I looked on the PCGS website and didn't see anything about what happens. Do they hand it over to the secret service who then come knock on your door to ask you where it came from? Has anyone ever had this happen to them? If so that would make me think twice about submitting notes until I have a lot more experience with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>(link to the scene in the film)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q6VsR_4PuQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q6VsR_4PuQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q6VsR_4PuQ</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
