Counterfeit Money

[Crock]

How can I tell if a dollar is counterfeit? It was mailed to me with a car survey but it left a smudge of itself on the return envelope. I didn't think money was supposed to do that.

[JOS3]

what kind of bill is it? $20, $10?

[vindication]

who cares. go to your local deli and buy a stick of gum. instant laundery. lol

[JCell]

there r lines ans transparent shit that only hows at angles, but do what vindication said, worked for me in the past (cool)

[Crock]

it's one dollar

[AndrewF150]

if you are honestly concerned about it, go to your local corner store and ask them to use the "marker" on it. It is what they use on larger bills to see if they are real or fake, the ink in the "marker" reacts differently with real money than it does with fake...as I am sure you know. Than if it is fake, call the police and be like "Hey, might wanna check this out!"

[gimpo2]

there should be little red and blue fibers in the paper too, but if its a buck don't worry about it

I don't think many people would put the time and effort in to counterfeit dollar bills.

You have to think, why would anyone send real money in the mail? Especially a surveyer. (Actually, some dumbasses really do send cash in the mail.)

[moxnix]

Actually I have seen cash in the mail with a survey before. The thinking is that since you have the cash in hand you will feel like you need to fill out the survey for them.


Of course if the survey came from your local stealership I would get it checked anyway.

and then they'll figure you're counterfitting your own bills and was testing to see how well you do against the marker test :) you forget the american dream: guilty until proven innocent!! :D

That's the whole point! no one checks $1 dollar bills. That's why I do it. Sure it might take a little longer to make $1million, but I have a pile of it at home. I use it for McD's, gas, 7-11, etc. :D Make sure to wad it up, and maybe run it through the dryer a little. When's the last time you saw someone look at you strange because you had some wadded up 1-dollar bills in your pocket? it all ads up :D

^^ haha the perfect crime!

I have a counterfeit Loonie (Canada’s $1 coin), some guy was making them about 7-10 years ago and I have one. Nice little souvenir.

Easy. Go to your local law enforcement office and have them check it. We have ultriviolet/black lights that should be able to determine if its counterfeit or not. There are also special ink pens that when marked on the bill, turn black on the paper. If you use the money knowing it may be counterfeit, you could be guilty of fraud if you intend to use it to buy anything. Dont take the chance and go have it checked. Simple as that.

I've been able to check $20 counterfeit bills and checks since this is the easiest ones and used the most by con artists. But the $1 bill has less security features, so it may be a little harder to detect. Just fyi.

[Crock]

I have it narrowed down to 2 tests.

1. I stick it in a vending machine. If it works, I get a free drink and virtually zero chance of getting "caught".

2. I set it on fire. If the flame is RED, it's counterfeit. (Thanks Chris Tucker)

BEDEVERE: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
CROWD: Are there? What are they?
BEDEVERE: Tell me, what do you do with witches?
VILLAGER #2: Burn!
CROWD: Burn, burn them up!
BEDEVERE: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #2: Wood!
BEDEVERE: So, why do witches burn?
[pause]
VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
BEDEVERE: Good!
CROWD: Oh yeah, yeah...

[icourtnage]

I think the time and effort everyone spent posting and replying to the question is worth more than the damn $1 bill, if it is in fact real.

[vindication]

did you buy the damn pepsi yet?

[Dexter]

I dont see the big deal. Go spend it already.

[Katonk]

JD Power and Associates passing funny money? That would make for interesting headlines. Hehe. Obviously, I'm assuming it came from them, since they're known for sending $1 with their surveys.

i think everyone on here is making more of a big deal about it than the actual guy

[vindication]

I think I should call the FBI and tell them our man crock has been using counterfeit dollar bills

such an excellent movie.

[Crock]

The top bill is the suspect. It is gone now.

Two out of 3 co-workers were convinced it was a fake simply because the paper was too crisp. One mentioned that it was "wood" paper and not "cotton" paper.

The name at the bottom of the survey is "Maritz Research, Inc."

[Nextruss]

sometimes i have seen white washed 1 dollars like that cause they went through the washer, lol

[mazdaspeedpower]

I've had money feel that way before. I got it from the bank though...it was wierd..it felt so fake, but indeed it was real, cause the clerk who took it was like "this feels fake man, I'm checking it"so I said"yeah I know it feels fake, I got it from the bank though" and then he checked it with the machine, and it was real...sweet.
