How mortifying! I just tried to pass a counterfeit 20 dollar bill at lunch time! The gal there knew me, let me take my lunch and sign for the bill. I went to the bank, asked for the manager, advised I had been there only two days ago and made a withdrawl and I was pretty sure it came from them. He actually gave me a brand new bill and an apology - how cool is that!
First time I've ever seen a counterfeit bill in my life :dollarsign:
My coworkers are suggesting I might want to update the equipment in my basement so I don't get caught next time
Pippi---lucky that U got an *even* Xchange for the bill---
That happened to me---and it was Tough luck----I lost--the bank never gave me an apology!!!!

the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control
Wow! And ya'll think I'm outrageous cause I carry a 9mm around the property Ha Ha ! Peggy , Thats different....and the bank actually replaced your $20? I am impressed. Love Oma
May I be more compassionate and loving than yeterday*and be able to spot the idiots in advance
Mary - they figured it out with some kind of blacklight machine. The bill was amazingly real looking. The machine proved it to be fake.
Sorry to all those that have requested...I'm not set up to print American money. I haven't quite figured out how to reproduce those little plastic strips that say "USA twenty" or "USA fifty" on them
Wow! Now that's an interesting experience. You're really on the ball! If that had been me, I wouldn't have had the foggiest idea where I got it.
As I've said before, "as a group, we tend to have some weird experiences, don't we?"
Love,

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I'm really impressed that the bank replaced your bill. I got passed a phony 50 last year at one of my craft sales and it was my loss.
I've since found our out that the quickest way to detect a phony bill is to spray water on it. If it runs, it's a phony - the real one doesn't do that.
The banks don't want to catch any counterfeits going out, because then they would have to eat 'em.
I don't believe that my bank would have refunded anything, either. Maybe being a fiery redhead helps. LOL.

Peggy,
That's quite the story. Can you laugh about it now? I myself recently had a "criminal" experience. I accidently drove off from the gas station without paying. The police came to my door and escorted me back to the gas station to pay. I was absolutely mortified. I was so embarrassed I think I started to cry and I don't cry in public. Now I can laugh about it but at that moment it was terrible. I would never make a good criminal.
