FAke 100 $

[fucktopgirl]

Yea, so today i rent movies and wanted to pay with an old 100$ bill, did not worked but i put the movie on my account. I was a bit like "the fuck", then i try to break it at the grocery, i did not go to the bank right away because if it was a false , i would have lose 100$. Anyway at the grocery, niet, the gay cashier did not like it , then i hit the bank, wich was close , give the bill to the lady, 2 sec later, she confirmed me what i tough, the mooney was good! God damnit !
Then she explain to me that a grocery or store cannot refuse money if they are not sure of the authenticity of it and express her opinion that the people around are morons and have no competence to determined a true bill from a fake one! And she said especially at this grocery store , they send plenty of people with money to be check there(bank) !

I mean if you work with money you should be able to know the difference between false and true, no? That should be a prerequisite!

I did go back at the grocery to get my stuff , then told the gay dude that the bill was good, all of a sudden he became really tensed and frustrated, like i was attacking him or something. Then i add a bit of pepper on the fire:D by telling him that the lady at the bank did said that they where incompetents, wich is true. Well, the cashier was on the verge of crying and call his superior to tell on me, hahahahahaha and poor him:( was not a good day for him i assume!
His superior was alright and just say that it is not the job of the cashier really to know the difference ....ultime stupidity!

Did you guys ever come across false money while buying something ?

And you can share your funny,stupid , weird encounters with people in stores!

here the cashiers have this pen they mark the bill with. I guess if the ink turns a certain color they know it's not real.

A lot of places will just flatly refuse anything over, say, $20. That's getting more and more interesting at, say, gas stations, where a fill-up might hit $60-$70 for someone.

But, you know -- merchants are people just like you: they don't want to be the ones to get stuck with the bad bill, you know? Why begrudge them what you yourself wouldn't want?

[jabumbo]

the largest bill i ever had was a 50 and thats because my gram gave it to me for christmas

back in canada we had a counterfeiting problem with $10s and even $5s. i think they flooded the hammer, because it seemed like they were everywhere.

a few times when i thought i had received a counterfeit, i'd ask for my change in twoonies and loonies instead. bogus paper currency is like musical chairs and i don't wanna be left standing when the music stops.

good luck faking a twoonie, how soon until they come out with a $5 coin?

[cosmo105]

he was just trying to do his job. why did you have to be a jerk and say that to him?

...how long have they had twoonies? I don't remember them when I lived there.

yeah no shit. like a $5 an hour clerk wants to cough up $100 because he wasn't vigilant.

edit: 95 or 96 i think. if you put them in the freezer the center pops out. (polar bear)

i know he did not wanted to get stucked with the bad bill , wich was not, but he did checked it in the machine and it was alright, he just did not like the fact that the bill was old!

...and the currency is still good, or.... how does that work?

There was a time in Russia when currency was like... you could tear part of it off if you need something less than the full face value. That seems weird. Why not just make currency like a sheet of stamps, then?

i was not mean, i just said the truth and i was happy to say it because i lose some of my precious time while running around to change the bill!

You didn't say that earlier. If that were the case, you could've taken it up with a supervisor on the spot. You could just say, "Could you ask your supervisor to accept it?" and that takes any onus off the cashier. (y)

hmm. i suppose a merchant would still have to honour it if you had both pieces... i watched an interesting segment about the us treasury / mint on modern marvels. they showed a US treasury employee picking thru a pile of charred money, to determine the reimbursement value owed to the person who submitted it.

greenbacks have a warranty on them and they'll honour the debt you're owed, if you submit what's left of it. what a numbing job that must be.

[monkey]

my mom once realized she had 3 fake 100's. she got really pissed off and burned them. i asked why she didnt let me (at that time, 14) keep them and let me try to fool people. that was before i believed in karma, of course.

I've seen that, or some other documentary on the same subject. It was pretty fascinating, to me. I assumed that if the house burned up, that was it, but these people would submit a bag of ashes, basically. Jeez. (!)

i was also surprised to learn that 96-98% of the money supply has trace amounts of cocaine residue on it. plus, there's also fecal matter all over it.

why people still do rails with bills, i'll never know. seems like an easy way to get hep c or some other infection. :confused:

beth's got a great story about a counterfeit hundred dollar bill...i'll let her tell it.

I never even considered that. Huh.

[Dr Deaf]

the departments of the US treasury and the Secret Service have been dispatched and are currently en route to your home.

hurrah for first degree felonies!

you still didn't have to say that. i don't care how "precious" your time is. the policy at my store is, if you have ANY doubt about the currency, don't accept it.

[Pres Zount]

We don't get fake around here :mad:(y)

[jackrock]

wtf twoonie?

[befsquire]

twoonie is a two dollar canadian coin.




so i have a client who is going to be pleading on a charge of uttering a forged bill tomorrow. it's a 3rd degree felony, punishable by up to 5 years. he's getting 6 months, and he's already been in for 3.

anyway... he took a $5 bill and then on the corners, he taped the corners of a fake $100 bill. the grocery store cashier looked at it and noticed the president was wrong. WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING TAPE????? to make matters worse, he got pissy about it and was so angry that he just grabbed his $2.49 black and milds off the counter and walked out. well, he didn't pay for the black and milds, so there's a petit theft charge as well. according to the cashier, there was enough real money in his wallet to pay for the black and milds.

[befsquire]

so i'm a little concerned no one will see the irony / sarcasm in the post above. :(

i guess what's important is that i find myself to be funny.

[jackrock]

TOONIE!

[CrankItUp!]

Go to the nearest Office Max and you can purchase a counterfeit pen for only a couple bucks. (lb)
