<p>[QUOTE="jlogan, post: 2460017, member: 44612"]I mean, it's smart on the counterfeiter's part. Hypothetically, if I were to counterfeit money (I would never do such a thing and do not condone it), I would make mostly tens and some twenties. The fifty and hundred are checked just about everywhere, so they're too risky, but the one, two, and five are too small of denominations for it to be worthwhile, and people would get suspicious if you pay for everything in small bills. The twenties are checked sometimes, so there's some risk, but tens are almost never checked and you can easily use it to buy a $1 item and get $9 in legitimate change for each counterfeit note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
