Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 09:34 am When I was a kid my brothers and I would mark notes just to see if we ever got any of the same ones back again at another time. We never did, but this is one reason why someone might mark a note. I'm sure there are thousands more reasons. Report this Post to the Staff

ckrakowski Pillar of the Community 979 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 4:19 pm when a $100 is stamped like that it means at one time it was used as drug money the same might be true for $5 as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 4:55 pm The last time I received currency with counterstamp marks was from a ebay transaction I had done around 2005 with the buyer located in Tiawan, ROC (Republic of China), and received payment in USA Currency. All the notes had at least 1 counterstamp mark and 1 with 4 different marks... I believe this is like the Chop Marks on the old Trade Silver Dollars...

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 5:02 pm @John1 Did your Hundred Dollar Note have Oriental Designs or common marks... The one note I had received had four different Oriental designs... When I first started collecting Currency, it was noted that there was more USA Currency outside our Borders then inside the USA...
