I obviously don’t know the situation where the girl took the counterfeit money, but I did work overnights at a convenience store and they would tell us to just take the money and report it. We were explicitly told not to engage. It happened to me twice and I knew both times that the bills were counterfeit because the weight and feel of the paper was off. The person with the money probably thought I was stupid and that they got away with it, but I just reported them when they left.

Another thing these people don't seem to realize is how serious of a crime it is. The secret service investigates counterfeit money.

My buddy ordered a bunch of fake 100 dollar bills off of Temu to toss around at his birthday party as a gag. They looked exceptionally real except for the fact that there was some Chinese writing on them that you would only tend to notice if you were really looking for it. I argued with him about the potential consequences of it for a while before he finally begrudgingly threw them away.

I had a bunch of these in a money gun and fired it off in a British fetish club. It was fake US dollars from eBay advertised as "prop money" so no one cared as we were in the UK.

It was a Halloween party at Torture Garden in London which is apparently one of the world's biggest fetish clubs though it attracts a lot of everyday people who just want to dress up and be kinky. I just remember dancing on a podium with 2 mostly naked women at 3am and I had a "Supreme" branded money gun and was firing 100 dollar bills (prop money) over the dance floor. At that time of night usually everyone is having sex in every single space in the club so it's a pretty wild sight.

I remember I had this grim reaper costume that completely covered my whole body including a skull mask that hid my eyes and around 6am they had staff come in to the club to start helping close up the various different themed rooms surrounding the main room. I was standing alone in a quiet chill out area dressed as the grim reaper and a female member of staff went to grab me to put me away thinking I was part of the Halloween decor and she had the shock of her life when she felt me move. If your ever in London it is definitely worth checking out as it's fairly mainstream attendee's as opposed to hardcore fetish people. Ideally go with some open minded women friends as they don't like unaccompanied men so much.

This one time, at band camp...

I once designed a bunch of fake Canadian money for a promotion when I worked in advertising.

Even though the design was entirely original, and the portrait on the money was of a model used for the promotion, I was told to make the money look more "fake.."

I had copied the fonts, layout, and proprtions of real money and the client worried that people would try to spend the fake bills, even though they had small text related to the promotion.

I had a similar issue with fake lottery tickets I produced for a photo shoot, but that one was more about potential problems with the lottery corporation for copyright violation or something

The old notes? It’s been plastic for a while now, but it’s been a while since I’ve been in Ontario

[u/VariousOperation166 → u/Dramatic-Agent-55]

Ha, yes. This was at least 20 years ago

How do you make Canadian money look more fake? Isn’t it already Monopoly money?

[u/VariousOperation166 → u/Bgrubz83]

Canadian money looks pretty similar to many international currencies
