If you guys want to add pictures of fake ones versus real ones, that would be helpful. I was at a public auction yesterday and it had a book full of confederate and foreign bills. I wasn't sure, for some reason, I felt they were fake. All help will be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a good website for looking up those numbers: http://www.tomchao.com/replicas2.html#U Most have the same look to the paper, but I do not have any pictures to help Report this Post to the Staff

The best method is to look at the paper quality - most have a brownish coloring to the paper(i wish I had a picture to show) Report this Post to the Staff

I don't know what it was, maybe the paper. I wish I would have took a picture or paid attention to the serial number. Report this Post to the Staff
