I tried to use a heavily taped dollar on a vending machine, but it kept getting rejected. I then proceeded to take it to the cafeteria to exchange, but the lunch lady wouldn't take it, saying it was fake. I explained that it's real, it was just beat up from years of circulation. She still wouldn't change her mind, and insists that it's fake. I'm going to my bank after school to see what they think. I guarantee you it's real, but the lunch lady just cost me my snack today...
Here's the info if anyone wants to know. Series 1999, SN L92290373C And remember, single bucks are counterfeited so rarely, that there's no plan to redesign it, so I guarantee it's real.
Same happened to me at dunkin donuts with a $2 bill last year. Drive through guy said he's seen counterfeits and it was fake. I guess it's unusual to see a very worn $2.... bank took it with no questions. I guess someone was telling me to lay off the donuts.
I got an uncolored $5 for it, as I happened to have 4 other singles on me, so that was a bonus since I always like getting older bills to hang onto until it's time to deposit for "safekeeping!"
