I guess it was my fault. At work, my friend asked me to get him a lottery ticket from the gas station, and I did. I return his change of $5 along the lottery ticket.
Next day morning, he told me that the money I brought back to him was a counterfeit. When he stop at the gas station trying to pre - paid the pump, he used the $5 bill I return him, and the cashier took a long look, and told him that this money was no good, and it is fake. He ripped it off instantly to avoid trouble. I felt so sorry, and pay him back that $5.
I couldn't believe there were actually counterfeit money flowing in the market now. Have you seen this before?

Of course - and the thing is most places only make it required for you to check 50s and 100s so therefore people who make the money are making the lower bills in a huge surplus in order to get away with it easily. I know at my work we are now required to check all 20s before we accept them.
I think we could of gone back and been like hey I got this here yesterday and showed the receipt and got his money back instead of having to rip it up - at least talk to the manager about the situation. Maybe he didn't care about $5 but to me I would of.

too late. My friend ripped that bill off, and I got no evidence to show anyone now. Thanks for the advise though.

No, but I have seen a poster in a shop warning people not to use counterfeit bills. So they probably exist. Though I have never actually seen the fake money itself.

it is actually hard to tell if the money is real or not. I don't have a laser eye to detect those stuff. I just accept what is green with a washington picture on it.
