Has anyone “felt” BO’s supposed LFBC? :) I mean, is there a printout for anyone to handle?

I was at a fast-food restaurant this evening, and one of the clerks was explaining to the other how she suspected she’d been passed a counterfeit $1.00 bill. She said it didn’t feel right to her, it was too smooth, it didn’t have the “stickiness” or coarseness of genuine (made from linen fibers) U.S. currency. I suppose if you’ve handled enough of the real thing, you can tell the fakes even by touch.

(Not really joking here. Security paper has a certain “hand” to it.)

Only one MSM news reporterette was allowed to fondle one of the “original” LFBC copies with the “raised seal” which she claims to have felt and photographed with her cellphone, IIRC. No other journalist or competent document examiner was allowed to touch one, as far as I know.

Obviously not. Who on earth would counterfeit a ONE dollar bill???
