Paulz: one look at that e-bay listing and alarms are going off in my head.... I don't think that's a "legit" note...

You and I both AgCoinAu
I think the whole "Canada ? Different" is what the seller would you use in his defence if needed.
But sucks to whoever paid 140 US

You can make out the little box that said "Copy" on the fake bill. Sad to see it go for so much.

Seriously.. seeing stuff like this is where I wish I could remove the ability to see this person's stuff.. There's NO WAY I would want to support this individual after seeing the fact they have sold this crap to someone who is unsuspecting!

It is in fact frustrating!  I want to contact the seller to let him know because maybe he isn't aware, but I don't know how ebay goes about saying someone has a fake note without having 100% proof. |

-I don't have one of these notes... but these are just a few things that stuck out to me:
-the word one I believe should be in "red" ink
-the cursive writing on this note would've been done in "ink" as such the writing should've changed colour over time to a light brown
-the portrait pictures are pixilated it's like it's a photocopy of another photocopy...

The word "copy" was photoshopped out. 100% feedback on almost 6k sales - hard to believe. Maybe those cereal box things are worth $140?

c300g: same thing happened to me, an old aunt gave me what I thought was a confederate bill from the civil war, turned out it came from a box of Corn Flakes.

These note have been HEAVILY counterfeited (if that's a word)...
Goes all the way back to the days of the civil war... but then they would make only slight adjustments... the civil war like it or not was more about economics than anything else.... and nothing kills an economy more than one group or organization pumping in a whole lot of "fake" currency into an economy and then later refusing payment and destrying the currency once it has circulated because it was counterfiet... (a tactic used in many wars)
