Statistically speaking....
$100 x 80% = $80
$80 > $5, so yes, take the potentially fake $100 instead.

Yep, that’s positive EV (expected value) bet, as a poker pro would say.

If the $100 is a fake, and it gets detected and confiscated by a cashier, you have $0.
And possibly a bad time from the US Treasury Dept.
$5 is greater than $0.
