that's what it's for

I bought the same brand of counterfeit detector machine that I saw our local bank using. I was surprised it was only $100. We’ve used it now for 3 years.

Charlie sent two $100 bills home Saturday night with a note on them saying “these wouldn’t go through the machine but they looked good.”

I don’t know if you know anything about counterfeiting, but they’ve gotten good enough that pens/markers don’t work and when you hold bills up to the light they have the little strip in them just like real bills.

That’s why we bought the machine.

So now my brain hurts because who does that?! Who just says oh they looked good even though this machine says they’re fake?!

Maybe he’s never gotten a fake bill?

I’ve gotten tons of them, but I’ve also told Charlie and Marissa about those times before and said how awesome the machine is because once the bill is in your possession, you’re out that money. The machine paid for itself within the first week I had it.

The bank will just shred it in front of you and not replace it, of course.

I even told him about the time a dude gave me a huge stack of $20 bills and the first five were real, and the dude was really surprised when I kept going after the first five.

Because all the rest were fake.
Dude was really pissed at me 🤣
