Another dancer I was working with showed me a couple old style ten dollar bills that did not look the same. One was smaller, the paper felt weird, and had a 1950 mint mark. And one was missing the "in God we trust" motto. (I only had new style ten bills on me so I couldn't compare any more to hers.)
Are there some handy tips for us dancers to check our bills for veracity? One of the other girls commented we'd be easy marks for counterfeiters to pass off fake money since we work in dark bars and are transitory.
A few years ago, I heard about a part-time bank teller/ part-time stripper in Colorado who reported some guys who were trying to pass off hundreds of dollars worth of fake money in her club- she knew from the feel of the money that it wasn't real.

If someone wants to attempt scanning/printing funny money, they can go ahead, but if they are caught...they can be charged with defrauding a company/larceny or even grand larceny (depending on how bold they get).
