In the 1980's I worked at McDonald's. One night a man came in and ordered fries - just an order of fries - and handed me a 100 dollar bill to pay for it. When I called the manager over to check the bill (that was the procedure when it came to bills of $50 or more), he told me "just give him the fries". So I handed him back the bill and gave him his fries free of charge, since he claimed not to have anything smaller. He seemed a little bit annoyed, but did not cause a scene over it. After the guy left, my manager explained, "I'm NOT going to cash a 100 dollar bill for a small order of fries and take a chance on it being a counterfeit". BTW, this manager had previously worked in a bank. I remember saying back then that if the counterfeiters were smart, they would make smaller denominations, since those aren't scrutinised as closely as the larger bills. Fast forward to the early 2000's. There were a number of counterfeit 5, 10, and 20 dollar bills being circulated in the area where I live. They were even fooling the banks in the town, because they looked like the real deal...
When I was in 8th grade my class teacher read us a book on money and had a chapter on counterfeit money. When I was 14 (1977) in Homestead Fl, I had a job and a bank account. I was withdrawing money to buy a record and the teller handed me a counterfeit bill. With the help of the bank manager we figured out where the counterfeit got the money in to the bank. I was credited for catching the counterfeiters. Money has changed since then.
@@cherylcaardillo1702 Did you realize it was counterfeit right away or later and did you have any problems from the bank? Back when that happened to me, the bank had cameras and several people close by who were good witnesses.
@@cherylcaardillo1702 When that happened did you realize right then or later? and did the bank give any trouble? When it happened to me, the bank had cameras and people near by were good witnesses. Also the bank manager froze up and I had to take control. That book my teacher read really helped me.
Each security strip glows a different color under uv light aka black light- like 100s are red/pink. I don’t remember the rest but they all have different colors
$100 security strip glows red/pink, $50 security strip glows yellow, $20 security strip will glow green, $10 security strip glows orange, $5 security strip glow blue. Not only do they glow different colors but they’re also in different spots on each denomination and they’ll have different text. It’ll say “USA” then the denomination repeating in very small text. Also all 10s thru 100s have the historical figures face as the watermark. 5s before 2003 but after 95 will have Abe Lincoln’s face as the watermark. 5s 2003 and after will just have a giant 5 as the main watermark and three mini 5 watermarks on the left.
I like how some of the videos from these news headlines say “Presidents” instead of “people” because Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin were, historically, never Presidents of the United States
Gas Stations in our area have actual bill scanners they started using. There were a bunch of counterfeits flowing around a couple years ago apparently.
If you spray paper with 3M Scotchgard Fabric Water Shield the pens won't work because the cellulose in the paper will be protected from the iodine in the counterfeit pen.
So confused at the end. Get what? Black light? Blue light? Can't u talk slower? And show proper way of checking it since you are doing this video anyways?
Seriously if you're gonna make a video on this subject DO IT RIGHT, NO STOP SIGNS SHOWN IN THIS , WE DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR ALL HOT AIR TALK AND BULLSHIT !

You are NOT special.

I received counterfeit from ATM😢

Wait what are you suppose to even look for with the UV light. He didnt even say...

Worst report ever! Absolutely no useful information at all. I would have felt better if they actually lied to me and made it sound believable
@@terrencequinn4125 Yes, totally agreed, doesn't tell you anything at all.
Older money doesn’t go under UV lights and neither does 1$ so I’m still lost on how to tell. I guess even some pens aren’t accurate lmao
I keep my counterfeit bills for bail money.
what do i look for with uv light??
Sadly those pens dont work. A certain hair spray can and be put on fakes to make them pass.

Hi can you please tell me what this note is if I send you a picture
If it ever gets so bad, businesses will be forced to do card only.
The serial numbers are the same? Come on now! Only little kids will fall for that one!
People should just use their debit cards and that would solve the problem
The other day they tried to pay with a fake ¹⁰⁰ bill.
How can one tell what is real bills and what are fake bills??
Thanks for letting us know . 🙏

What does the black light tell me?
@@danibakes808 how much spirm is on your money.
@@jerrynadler2883better than having it on your face
give it to bank for real money
Let me he bank handle it why citizenship need to play law
Some might have received fake bills and not know. Don't accuse them of trying to passing it as real.
It’s all in the feel in the money but if it feels the same idk 😢
How, how does a black lite tell. Can't you finish ffs
People still using paper money? It's 2024 friends, everyone is using digital money on their digital wallet.
Gas Stations in our area have actual bill scanners they started using.

In a world of high-tech,anything can be duplicated and fooled people easily….
If you spray paper with 3M Scotchgard Fabric Water Shield the pens won't work because the cellulose in the paper will be protected from the iodine in the counterfeit pen.
Thanks for sharing your counterfeiting technique.
If it gets really bad. They probably will going to start to use crypto instead of paper money.
They can’t even tell us exactly what real vs fake money. Use money detector machine to know for sure than using nake eyes.
Never trust a pen it could be fooled with phonebook paper
What to do, call the police
That’s because its ordered cheap on the dark web with very successful features

absolutely no mention of what do do if you spot a counterfeit bill. terrible reporting !
Seriously if you're gonna make a video on this subject DO IT RIGHT, NO STOP SIGNS SHOWN IN THIS , WE DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR ALL HOT AIR TALK AND BULLSHIT !
Can't believe people are still trying to counterfeit modern bills
Lazy report, they miss probably the most important tip of them all: Governor Schwarzenegger is NOT on the 1000!
Poorly done, what does a black light do for you? What should you see under a black light. Just left the viewers hanging……
Maybe their from gretch. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👎💲💲💲💲💲💲🤣
BRENDA, your attempt at partisan humor is as lacking as your IQ !
Useless information that's not up to date to spot a counterfeit bill.
That pin doesn't work I'm from New York City
It's probably Fannie Willis who's making the counterfeit money because she's going to need a lot of it to get her ass out of this sling
Well dere y'all's go pointing y'all's fingas at our folks!
