I just caught a counterfeit $100.

Be careful guys. I just went to collect a ** at the local supermarket. The girl gives me back all $100's. I then decide to so some grocery shopping since I have eaten in two weeks because all my money was locked up into gambling.

I go to the self check out and the machine wouldn't take the first c note. I held it up to the light and you could see there wasn't a strip going across, so I head back to the customer service. I ask her to try the marker on it and it came back bad. Manager comes over and confirms it. What's amazing is they replaced it without thinking twice.


You better check them or you're going to get stuck with them.

Did the bill feel funny or did it look real except for the strip?

Are you sure you didn't swap a counterfeit bill from your pocket and cheated the manager? ** stores scan their bills for counterfeits before they place them in the cash register.

It felt a little weird. Luckily it was on the top of the hundreds she gave me or I wouldn't have known. It was the first one I tried in the machine.

I went in with $24.

When I look back, this was the giveaway.

A clean, fresh "old style" bill.

why would a criminal confess their sin here?

Yeah, that would really be a first, wouldn't it?!

Not eating in 2 weeks makes this fishy, but I believe you.

[RogueJuror]

counter fits is a tough business

You can move $5 and $10 pretty easy for day to day needs

Some of the older bills don't have the barcode thing when you hold it up to light.
