If you gave a stranger change would you check the validity of the bill?

This lady come in to the sandwich shop I was eating in and asked the cashier for change for a hundred. The cashier said she didn't have it so before the lady left I called her over and give it to her out of my purse.My boyfriend said as she was leaving...aren't you gonna check that bill? I said no...he said playfully...you better.I found myself checking it. Would you have checked it on first instinct or would you have someone suggest it?

Yes I would check the bill and I would have someone suggest it or else if I end up with a rare fake money, I would lose my hard-earned money. It's better that I check the bill to make sure that it's not fake. Some people could do that, exchanging their "counterfeited" money bill for an equivalent amount of real pennies. I am always alert of this situation whenever I go to wet markets or fastfoods. I usually check the watermark in the bill similar to the portrait displayed if it is visible on both sides, then look for the security thread that is a vertical strip of plastic that is embedded in the paper and the color-shifting ink written as alphanumeric that indicates its denomination.
Happy mylotting!

hi,jenintn,you'd better to check the validity of the bill because there actually is a certain amount of those counterfeit in market. otherwise,so regretful and awful you may find after those guys with impure motivations takes advantage of you. hence, you should be aware of it and try to make it a rule to check the bill.
wish you good luck and happy holidays, my friend.

To change one hundred? Maybe I would count that money. But also You can feel how much You have in that bucket of money: thick or think bucket. Depends if would be a rich person also, an average or below the average.
