    I used to be a bank teller (probably 2012-2013) and we did a lot of cash transactions at my branch. One day I got a deposit of a few thousand dollars from a local bar including lots of hundreds. I ran the stack through the counting machine (which had a counterfeit detection feature) and everything checked out. After I processed the transaction and was handling the money to place into my till... one of the $100s "didn't feel right." The new blue Benjamins had just been released but this bill was of the old type. I ran it through the machine again, clear. I marked it with the detector pen, clear. Showed it to my manager... who said, well, if it passed the checks then it should be ok. Thing was, it had this kind of waxy coating on it which I suspected was fooling the ink test. So I put a small tear in a corner, tested with the pen again, and sure enough it was a fake. I'm convinced it was one of these NK masterpieces. So we sent it to the secret service and that was the last I heard about it.

    • @jadedandbitter

No merchant would take it, everyone kept saying it was counterfeit. i took it to the bank and the banker confirmed that it was real and that they were printed without the "In god we trust" before 1950, and advised me to keep it. But being a young person, i just wanted to spend it and i was angry that the merchants tried to make it look like i was doing something illegal. so i exchanged it for 10s.

      @@cameroneridan4558 no hes claiming that quantitative easing is essentially counterfeiting, because the creation of money like that has no intrinsic value - you have flipped it.
      I dont know about other countries but in AU and the US the central banks perform this by pumping money through the commercial banks, giving them the money to be able to give loans, which is what i presume you mean when you say the commercial banks create most money. Yes many banks may loan money they technically don’t have, also inflating the economy, but there are legal limits to that, to some extent. Its the RBA in Australia which fundamentally is the originator of the money. The difference between commercial banks and central banks is pretty insignificant as far as inflation is concerned.
      Either way you are missing the point - his comment was a criticism of fiat currency. A reserve currency is much much less likely to cause hyperinflation, etc., and can often be deflationary, which is bad for banks and governments (in general) but good for the people who actually own and produce the value of the nation. (Again, in general).
      In the weimar republic the inflation crisis was literally caused by the government reducing or removing the need for currency to be 100% backed by silver or gold, causing a printing party and subsequent bank runs as people clued in, plunging Germany’s entire economy into chaos.

    One of the most common ways we'd see counterfeits at the retail level was the bleaching of 1's or 5's and printing 20's or 100's on them. That way they had the right "paper" but the watermark was wrong. The thing is during busy times, cashiers can't take the time (or forget) to check all the bills that go thru their hands. The holiday shopping season was the best time for counterfeiters.

    Also a fun fact, the reason US dollars are green is because of the fact that the very specific green ink made for the dollar was very hard to replicate. Way back in the 1860’s. Before then you could literally get a camera and just photograph the bills and get good enough results. But because they used color, and a specific specialty recipe ink color, it helped to make dollars harder to counterfeit.

And if your counterfeit is literally identical to the original, then they have to figure out which is the counterfeit without being able to truly prove it.

    Many countries have moved onto polymer bills , which have many security features. Also getting rid of the dollar bill and replacing it with a dollar coin would save many millions of dollars. Coins can be in circulation for 50 years, paper currency only lasts 3 - 5 years.

    Actually, the current $1 note hasn't changed substantially since the introduction of Series 1963, which was the introduction of Federal Reserve Notes in this denomination which incorporated an asymmetrical border design. The previous version (the Silver Certificates, which included Series 1928, 1934, 1935 and 1957) had a different border design on the front, and the current design of the back started with Series 1935. (The 1928 and 1934 series had sort of a "funny money" back, just as the $500, $1000, $5000 and $10,000 bills had).
    Only the $2 bill still has the same border design on the front that it had on the Series 1928 United States Notes. The design on the back, of course, was changed in 1976 with the introduction of the Bicentennial Federal Reserve Notes on which Monticello was replaced by the Signing of the Declaration of Independence.
    The $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 denominations kept the same front border designs from 1928 until the "big-headed" versions came out around the turn of the century (different years for different denominations) for added security. The backs of the old notes remained the same except for slight modifications of the White House on the back of the $20.
    The $500, $1000, $5000 and $10,000 denominations kept essentially the same front and back designs throughout the 1928 and 1934 series, and were discontinued afterward. The $100,000 Gold Certificate had an orange "funny money" back, but this denomination (printed only for 1934) was never released for public use, but rather used only for intrabank transfers.
    The motto "In God We Trust" was added to all the $1 through $100 denominations starting about 1957.

    Back in my Emerald Triangle days- I knew someone who got 50k in NK NOTES, from a dispensary.
    It would click the money counter, held to the light had watermarks, even the famous strip on the bill- which could not be pulled out.
    The fact the serial numbers were only three numbers gave it away...
    Being able to pull the strip is the only way to tell- the fake hundreds click a counter, but that strip can't be pulled as it's printed and not embedded.
    He had a party and burned it- twenty pounds of Humboldt lost to a dispensary that gave out fake cash.
