[QUOTE="oldbucks, post: 338901, member: 10204"]The US Secret Service, would frown on you having a modern note that is a counterfeit. Even though if you have one in your possession and no intent to defraud anyone, they have a right to confiscate it. The reasoning for that is several fold: 1. To reduce the number of counterfeits in circulation that could be used with malicious intent to defraud in the future and. 2. To help track and trace current investigations on counterfeit distribution. I would not be open about having any in my possession if I had any that can be used as legal tender. JBK - they will never make exceptions for collectors, simply because of the fact that where do you draw the line on who is authorized and what you would have could be critical in solving a current investigation. However, if they did, I would assume they would "molest" the note to a condition that would make it undesirable to collect. Jeff[/QUOTE]
