Counterfeits

(1/1)

RgGoodie:
With the economy of the world being what it is counterfeit banknotes are abundant

I just picked up  a US $20 and a US$ 100 form local merchants.

Has anyone else run into any of these? 

CoinCrusader42:
Richard,

Is there any easy way to spot a counterfeit?

 :) :) :) :)

RgGoodie:
On the later  (current ) American banknotes the ink is magnetic and if you hold any of the new notes up to the light or use a UV light you can read the denomination on the security thread
This is the fastest way.

If you want to look under magnification, then I could list a half dozen ways on each note.

Eringobraugh:
Are you going to turn them in to the secret service????

Humpybong:


.....or are you going to send them to me for safekeeping   ;D
