    My brother found me this. He used to work at a metal recycling yard and withdrew cash every morning to pay out to customers selling scrap. It’s a pretty good counterfeit. If you were quickly counting a handful of $20s, you would probably miss spotting this as bad.

    It is very convincing from just eye-balling the scan. I bet there's no (or very little) microprinting & the lower gold '20' marker looks off.

    What does it feel like @Steve_in_Tampa ?

    The thickness feels right but it lacks the “intaglio” feel of our currency. These is absolutely no microprinting anywhere on the note.

    Surprisingly, mine feels real!! But portrait & back is dead giveaway
