basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 07/27/2012 5:30 pm I bought these at an antiques store (wondering why)and after I got them home and out of the frames for a closer look I am wishing I hadn't bought them. The ink and colors look good but there is an absence of the red and blue lint in the paper. The chinese/japanese counter stamp probably reads "there's a sucker born every minute" or something similar. Anyway, what are they, are they legal to own, and what might they be worth (I paid $10 each for them). any info appreciated, Thanksz, bob Report this Post to the Staff

I heard that these were training bills from china so chinese tellers can deal with american bills. here check this out. https://goccf.com/t/123734 a little more info for you. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Paper-Money...actice+notes as for owning these one could argue that since they are not made by the BEP they are technically counterfeit which are illegal to own.
