Everyone knows that it is an old thing, but the pen test will not reveal it as a fake bill because, it is indeed a real $5 bill and was converted to a $100 bill.

Do the "shine in the light test" and look for the same picture at the hollogram side (rightside of the note). It has to be Ben Franklin and not Abe Lincoln on the hollogram. You can also see that the strip is a $5 bill and not a $100.

whts the big deal if there fake? i mean you buy something with it the person never finds out, then that person buys something with it and so on. if it looks real then just spend it. (im saying this as if you got ahold of one somehow, not as if your the maker)

 

The big deal is that whatever establishment deposits that money at the end of the night will not get credit for the $100. So people like you and I may not have to worry as much, but people like Gino, who have to make a deposit directly to the bank at the end of the night get shafted out of $100. That doesn't seem right, does it?

it a big deal to the person catches the error and then has to deal with it.

like the merchant who takes the fake bil and deposits it into their bank. the bank then runs its through their fancy schmansy bill checker and is stopped.

now the merchant is out $100, has to deal with authorities (granted they are not in trouble) plus all the time lost...

nah... that's not a big deal...

 

Beat you to it.

damn kids

 

yea ok you guys are right, my mistake

 

they have a page about this on howstuffworks.com

people use $1 bills and convert them to $20's, etc.

Wear gloves and go to a casino

 

did u get a 5 gino? thats sucks, you know once when i worked at Mrs. Fields Cookies ( yes yes yes i know i was 16 at the time) my co worker who was a dumb biatch literally blonde and tall, i wanted to do her in the back but there was a camera, and once we had a iceing fight for the cakes we made and i shoved it down her pants and shirt, got a nice grab. all on camera, all in the front of the store. oh anyways, she takes a 50 from this guy and i can see from the back that its fake obviously cause it was orange. lol stupid girl.

 

Someone at my store accepted like $300 worth of those bills a few months ago... They were obviously fake from the texture.

 

fake money sucks. i was in NY city that day of that black out and was suppose to grab the 3 am shuttle to make my flight. I found out that $200 of my bills were fake and it just so happend that it was all the cash i had on me. The hotel didn't have an ATM and I wasn't going to walk around NY looking for a bank at 2 in the morning. the shuttle wouldn't take a credit card i ended up missing my flight as i had to wait till daylight to find a bank and get real money. i ended up paying out of pocket for my missed flight to catch a jet blue one. i literally took off about 5 minutes before the black out happend. i was out $200 but would have been pissed off if i was stuck in that crappy city for another 3-4 days as were my coworkers who's flights were delayed because of the black out.

i guess, that's what i get for buying knock off pocket books when i'm there

 

Buy something at Stevens Creek Subaru....




...then again...you could be getting a 5 dollar part that you just paid 100 bucks for...

 

I'll definately keep an eye out.

 

LMAO... How true!
