  4. How says:

    And how is the Belonger supposed to know the difference between real and fake. They hardly know the difference between a $10 and a $100. Oh I know, they will use a pen to see if the paper is real. Biggest way to counterfeit is to wash the ink off a $1 bill and then print it with $100. Good luck dumbasses.

  9. Paper currency says:

    is easily counterfeited so the US Secret Service investigates all counterfeit US paper currency bills. Unfortunately the counterfeiters are more advanced than the USSS so expect more ‘fake’ currency in the future. This problem is exacerbated in foreign countries(BVI!) with the US dollar as the legal currency.
