New Hundred Dollar Bills

[Zeez]

When you go through customs and they ask about $10,000 limit - They already know how much you have. The strips are RF.

Satellite pick this stuff up? Someday they'll do that if they can. Just fly around looking for beacons of cash.

I'd trade for Gold or silver.

I came across a few of those bills recently and my immediate impression was that they would be very difficult to counterfeit.

Let's see which technologically advanced country proves me wrong!

Damn looks like i learn something new everyday thanks for the knowledge bro

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

....a little bird told me that North Korea has been the top dollar counterfeiter for quite some time now....

Maybe they will soon get their heads around this new technology?

Gypsy, you're reading my mind, NK is exactly what I was thinking about, our new 'friends', let's see what they're up to!

credit cards and passports should always be in a faraday bag, now you add the cash.

Truth!

Cell phones and computers too

I believe that news was from 2013 and was determined to be untrue.

this is what primitive tech the industry is allowed...THE TREASURY DEPT may have much more advanced tech as well as the DOD DEA etc..etc..

The strips are not that advanced. they cannot be tracked by satellite or scanned by secret scanners. RF technology is getting advanced but not that advanced yet.

The new human scanners at airports are designed to find wads of cash. They are looking for more then guns, they are looking for "dark money". That's why they pick up on papers in your pockets and make you empty them.

Much of the security at airports is designed to look for money leaving the countries or money that is not in the system/taxed/accounted for.

With reference to "strips", gold or metallic, across a bill, you can unravel and remove these with your fingers in a few seconds, sort of like unrolling a joint. It does not deface the bill, which remains valid.


I am not sure about other features, but that strip is useless against anyone who puts a little time in it...depending on how many hundreds you have...which at a certain level, you could pay someone to do it for you.

I'm very skeptical of ANY portable or semi-portable device that is represented as being in any substantial circulation, and claims to read contents through metal walls. it defies conventional knowledge re. radio signals.

Satellites are already often over-taxed in demands, and at this time, I doubt very much anyone will be dedicating their use to cash detection, unless we're talking about container car or truck/boat loads. In which case, they're likely already on someone's radar anyway (pun might've been intended.. I'll have to think about it).

North Korea used to, seems like ages ago, take 1s and 5s of U.S. currency, bleach them somehow, and reprint them on legit linen bills as 50s and 100s. They'd pass a counterfeit pen, but often were detectable by holding up to light and looking for water-marks, etc. (*I'd routinely examine cash with the pen and visually before spending, not because a bad $50 or $100 would break the bank, but because when you get nailed passing one, you're apt to spend the day with folks in suits who you won't like very much, and who've heard, "I didn't know!!" or "IT WASN'T MINE!!!" or "I was framed!!" so many times that they nearly automatically assume you're lying.

That said, I've had 2 different credit cards hacked (and likely sold on the Dark Net by folks who ought to be beheaded!!) in the last 6 months, and have proposed that if a name and address of ordered goods comes my way, I'll be taking an impromptu vacation, as a matter of principle.

In one of those cases, the bastards tried to access my more specific and personal info through 2 different credit bureaus, which would've made my life WAY more Hell-filled, if they'd taken the next steps in progression and had gained that info..

Re. carrying money or anything else in a vehicle, a smaller, well-constructed metal container, adhered really well inside a fender well cavity, or a bed panel, out of physical sight, has never failed when done properly.

If they tear it down to the bone, they either knew you were coming already, or you've got the worst karma since Richard Nixon.

 

[Zeez]

The older hundreds offer stealth but then you don't know if they're bogus.

I've bought cheapo newsprint at art supply stores - that passed the counterfeit pen test.

I sometimes have to count cash, quickly. I check the watermark by holding it up to the light, and I check the ink thickness with my thumb-nail.

It also works to use a digital caliper to check the thickness.


I have been at the bank when a police officer, who liaisons with the Secret Service, was at the bank giving them a 10 page list of all the counterfeit bills found in town.

Since then, I check everything $5 and larger when I'm handed the money. Including the bank. If I don't like a bill, I ask for a crisper one. Sort of like the Soup Nazi, except I say no to old weathered looking bills.


I got some $100's a few months ago that were new-ish, and had what looked like botched printing. They had square inches of ink that was just out of place. Got rid of them as fast as possible.

Maybe they were mint error notes and actually worth something.

 

[DoubleTripleOG]

The real question is.....can we put them in dollar bills ? That way when my wife starts getting close I have a heads up, lmao !

So do the pages of the phone book. Pen's almost a waste of time. Lots of counterfeit bills can be detected simply by touch. I've come across only a few, and yes, it is the Secret Service which deals with them. A few of them were a lousy print job, and clipping a few "20s" and gluing them over a "1" is still pretty effective. Just switch the numbers.



The largest counterfeit stash I have ever seen was silver dollars. They were basically the Chinese replicas, which are perfectly legal if it includes the tiny word "copy", but these lacked the word. They were still obviously fake to the senses and brain, or by simply weighing them, but might look ok to an inexperienced person.


U. S. government has pumped billions worth of counterfeit cash into other countries, so, on a parity basis, would it not deserve an equal amount in return?
