    REALLY stupid on the part of the buyer. Does he think that somehow the state won't be able to track the VIN if he goes to register it? If your friend can identify him as the buyer, the Secret Service will make his life hell. Counterfeiting carries a mandatory minimum of 5 years, federal time (no early release!).

    Exactly! What a idiot and now he will get a Federal offense...although you know he will claim he did not know it was counterfeit and probably get away with it...hopefully not.

    Joker I assume your student said it looked pretty real? I've always heard the paper is the hardest to mimic and easiest to feel if it is fake.

    To get around the "feel", they bleach one dollar bills and re-print with one-hundred. Feels real, because it is, and even has the strip. You need to look closely, though. That strip on your one-hundred dollar bill may say one-dollar...

    $1 bills have the security strip? regardless, bleach a $5, turn it into $100 and you're on your way...

    I assumed it was 1's because they are the lowest. Looks like it's 5's that get bleached if they're worried about the strip...

    And you can look at the water marks...



    And the ink they use on the front $100s are color changing. Thats pretty hard to duplicate.

    not as hard as you think every college in Colorado has a printer that could mimic it pretty well
    its why the schools have to monitor that printer, alot of bust were made 3 or 4 years ago cause they found out it could
    CU boulder was one school that caught someone doing it, and Denver has an issue with fake 20's when i worked kinda in a cash cage i would catch 10 to 20 a day
    a new way around the pen is if you mark it with a matched colored pen which you can buy its a novelty most if they see the mark dont remark it

    Sure but there is no way to get rid of the water mark. So if you are using bleached $5 bills, which a lot of people do because thats one of the only ways to get the real feel, then a lot of times you will see Abraham on the Benjamins.

    If you are straight up printing everything on paper then yes its not hard to print the correct water marks

    so true but most see the water mark and do no look to see what the water mark means. so it one way some still get hosed
    i thought in vending machines when it takes 20's 10's 5's and 1's it reads the printed number on the corners and paper density test (how it grabs the paper, ever tired to put a regular piece in it slips and the machine can tell) so bad enough you could cash a changed 5 that printed to a 20 and take the quarters and then rechange it for real paper

    WHOA!!! I never knew that. I always just checked that the strip was there, not what it said.

    I hadn't heard of that. I wonder if after they have been bleached the counterfeit markers still show it as real.

    Take a look at your 1's, do they have a strip? No they don't. Only higher $ bills do. The strips are placed at different placed in different bill denominations as well because of this.

    I handle tons of cash payments at work from clients and only have got one fake 20. But I have seen a ton of fake 20 bills and even fake 5 bills from clients lol.
