    Default How to tell if $$$ is counterfeit?

    Kinda piggybacking the other thread on counterfeit bills. Besides the pen test and the looking at the strip, how can you tell money is counterfeit? Is there any other way to tell by the way the money feels or the look of it? You know being in a busy club and having money passed around all the time it's not like you have the time to be constantly checking to see if it's real or not. So I"m wondering if you can a counterfeit bill by the way it feels or any other method?

    Feel it. It is the best way to tell, and you really have to take the time to check each bill. I've seen a lot of counterfeit money, and though it looks like the real thing, they are never printed on the thread paper. Fake money feels softer, like it would wear out sooner. Or they are very crisp, but feel like cheap paper. Once you get used to the feel of a real bill, it would only take a second to know if something is off. Even real bills that have been through the wash still feel distinctly unlike paper.

    How about if Australian money is fake? It's made of a unique plastic but I heard people were still passing fake fiftys down south. Aussie money is Hard As to fake, but someone obviously did it. Different plastic? Different window? Different size? Colour?

    Not a problem... allways willing to help!! They have pens that can detect the counterfeits (at least the ones you should worry about...counterfeits that can beat most public measures aren't usually gonna get caught till they hit a bank)...as far as I know if you have a problem or question with money take it to the manager (unless of course you want ME to check it for you!! )
