Counterfeit currency popping up

[rockin'robin]

The Secret Service webpage has tips on how to spot counterfeit money. The best advice is to closely look at the portrait on the bill. On a real bill the hairline is clear, but on the counterfeit, it's less defined.

Also check the treasury seal, which should be clear distinct and sharp. This will appear a little blurry on a fake bill.

The borders also show some problems. Rather than it being clear and unbroken, these may be blurred and indistinct on a fake bill.

If you do have a counterfeit bill, there's really no way to get your money back. Police suggest don't try pass it off because you could get in trouble.

One of the bills in each set pictured below is counterfeit. Can can you tell which one?

Someone made counterfeit bills around here and put George Washington on them but the bills where not one dollars bills. I could not believe a cashier accepted the bills.
