    I'm surprised those bills are legal.

    Wow those look a little too real, i could see a non-attentive cashier taking those in without a second look.

    Are they a little smaller than the real legal tender ?
    That would be an easy tell.

    Gee. Now had YOU gone with your wife on that trip to Goodwill, you then could have titled your post, “Scored well with wife”.

    Do they work in vending machines? Asking for a friend. ;)

    I am happy to hear some people are training kids in money exchange... Some check out clerks cannot do anything the machine does not tell them. Cheers, RickO

    I don't think any of those are gradeable.

    That would be an easy tell.

    I read somewhere a long time ago that to print a photo of currency (copier, newspaper, magazine, etc.), the photo had to be twice as big, or half as small, to be printed legally.

    I've also read the printer manufacturers had to have something in their firmware/programming that prohibits a straight scan/print of realistic images for the money.

    Not sure how much is true vs how much is urban legend as I haven't tried.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
