Anyone Find One Of These Yet?

I'd like to see somebody come through my register with that bill.

I "search" through every bill customers pay with to look for errors, unique serial numbers, etc.


For this matter, I seriously hope the bills used in the video are not actual examples of the notes in question.

A series 2006 bill that begins with a Y for the serial number, hah.

I don't know that much about currency either, but for the newer, 1996+ series of US currency (except 1 dollar bills, which still use the old format), the first letter of the serial number corresponds to the note series. Take a look at anything larger than a 1 dollar bill in your possession.

Any series 2009 notes? Notice how they all start with a J.

2006 starts with an I.

And so on. They're not perfectly chronological, but every series will have start with the same letter.


Now I should put it out there:

I'm not saying the average consumer would notice. They probably wouldn't at all.

But if you looked at each bill carefully like me (to check for unique numbers), you might just notice that the numbers are flat out wrong.

I'm not sure, but I want to think that something states that you are obligated to report counterfeit currency that you received.

It bothers me how arrogant this guy is about his counterfeits when they don't even look THAT great, at least as shown in the picture on this article.

When I look at the picture from this http://www.inquisitr.com/1245261/fr...-us-dollars/
posted article, the counterfeit is not so good.
I've seen better fakes.
LS23338188U is nonsense.
Mr. Jackson and the Eagle are also not perfect.
Unfortunately, bills are for most people only a method of payment.
Most Americans probably do not know what means the letter number combination in the bottom row.
In Europe we have because of the high number of currencies
much wilder stories about faked bills.

What a wild story, Thanks for sharing.

Mike Harris did it! I knew it!

Pretty obvious it is a fake from just looking at Jackson's face and the bleached features. Not to mention the different font used for the serial numbers.
Amateur fake in my opinion.

I guess it serves the U.S right for having 1950's currency. But he does deserves what the bankers got in the U.S.
