I worked on counterfeit detection equipment a few years back. The best counterfeits even banks don't have the equipment to detect, only the feds. So the best thing an individual can do not to get stuck with them is to know the real stuff. what money feels like and what it looks like. When I was working around cash much of the counterfeits were found this way. They might even not know whats wrong at first just it wasn't right. I don't use cash very much and never have any bill larger that a twenty. This party because being around cash I knew how disgustingly dirty it is.

This is what I'm talkin bout...We don't make money on color copiers in this country correct? 95% of the paper that is passed is made on copiers in WNY. The tell is very specific and very idendtifiable. On the grean seal on the righthand side of the face the star with the printed denomanation the black and green pixilate on a copier as opposed to dies. 95% false! What am I suppossed to do? The treasury must know by now. It passes, but it bothers me. I should probably just shut up.

You know the area I'm talking about right? On what I refer to as class E counters I can see the pixalation from arms length. The class A's I have to hold the bill 5 inches from my eye. I have a one dollar bill I save because it is "probably" real...just as a keepsake.
