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.

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.
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...
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
It's almost as if the middle man Silicon Valley Wall Street billionaires are involved in this, deliberately flooding us with "counterfeit" to undermine cash and force everyone to go through them. Wouldn't be surprised
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.
Thank you. That explains why my friend showed me this $1 bill that we both thought doesn't feel right and yeah almost like it has some coating absorbed in it and it passes the pen test
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?

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

They tell you to use a black light and that it will always work, but they don't tell you what to look for??
WTF?
Thanks for letting us know . 🙏
what do i look for with uv light??

The serial numbers are the same? Come on now! Only little kids will fall for that one!

What does the black light tell me?
@@danibakes808 how much spirm is on your money.
@@jerrynadler2883better than having it on your face
Exactly so ridiculous
That is disgustingly
If it ever gets so bad, businesses will be forced to do card only.

Some might have received fake bills and not know. Don't accuse them of trying to passing it as real.
How can one tell what is real bills and what are fake bills??
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.
The other day they tried to pay with a fake ¹⁰⁰ bill.
absolutely no mention of what do do if you spot a counterfeit bill. terrible reporting !
The pens are useless. They spray aquanet hairspray or thin layer of flat polyurethane to create a barrier.
don't except cash or have your bank scan the bills before sales is complete.
How, how does a black lite tell. Can't you finish ffs
Sadly those pens dont work. A certain hair spray can and be put on fakes to make them pass.

They can’t even tell us exactly what real vs fake money. Use money detector machine to know for sure than using nake eyes.
In a world of high-tech,anything can be duplicated and fooled people easily….
give it to bank for real money
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.
Thank you that explains a lot
These have a bad feeling like they're coated don't they?
It’s all in the feel in the money but if it feels the same idk 😢
Let me he bank handle it why citizenship need to play law
People should just use their debit cards and that would solve the problem
crooks are passing it they dont use Aa card
No. We need to stop counterfeit and not be slaves to the big banks Silicon Valley Wall Street billionaires Middle Man for literally everything
Hi can you please tell me what this note is if I send you a picture
Can't believe people are still trying to counterfeit modern bills
Never trust a pen it could be fooled with phonebook paper
Yes
Poorly done, what does a black light do for you? What should you see under a black light. Just left the viewers hanging……
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?
What to do, call the police
If it gets really bad. They probably will going to start to use crypto instead of paper money.
I tried buying a R.V from my monopoly money, that did not end well😔
WHAAAT??! I got my RV AND a sports car. 🤣
That’s because its ordered cheap on the dark web with very successful features
Funny bone, pain ❤
hey 😅 the government doing it for decades 🎉
