How to Tell if a $10 Bill is REAL or FAKE:

[moukafaslouka]

I hate accepting $100 bills. I am always weary of getting counterfeit money and be out a lot of cash.

[evc]

This is absolutely the best video explaining what to look for. Thank you!

[recordbonnta]

Thanks for your help now I’m go remake my stuff

[doukyuuseii]

Thanks for pointing out the ways I can tell without a UV because until now I only used the face and I hated accepting $100 bills because people will occasionally be like "Yea dont worry its not fake" or "Yea I just printed it today" when I hold it up to the light, they act like I'm accusing them of a crime when in reality I just work here and I don't wanna be out $100 in an instant.

I thought mine was fake... turns out they just did Ben Franklin dirty in the watermark

Where I work, they make you pay out of pocket for any money that went short. Finding a counterfeit makes the drawer short and it falls on us to replace it. This video will help me a lot, cause I'm sick of my drawers ending up short. And learning about the bleaching method definitely opens my eyes, so I'm buying a blacklight just to play it safe, and doing the lapel test if I'm still not sure. Thanks for posting.

The raised image areas are not printing, they are intaglio. The intaglio deposits a well of ink on to the substrate. Where as printing deposits ink from the top of type to the substrate. The substrate is not paper it is 75% cotton and 25% linen, with a random sampling of silk fibers of different colors.

I'm a cashier and we use the pen for $20's and up. I knew of the 'lapel' test ( a bank teller told me of it) and I'm going to advise my colleagues to do BOTH from now on especially on $100's knowing what you said about bill bleaching (wow!)....

So the gold 100 number in the bottom right hand corner also turns color. Black when turned up away from you, and green when turned side to side.

Hey man just saw your video found a hundred dollar bill on the self-checkout at Jewel Chicago and one friend said to me it's fake so I went to YouTube when I saw your video but it stands out to be a real $100 bill so thanks for sharing

[sophiaisabellarose]

The paper clip through the flap at 2:50 was cool!! That convinced me my bills were all real! Thanks for this awesome video!!

[someusername]

The best tell is to see if the guy handing you the money is trying to distract you while you're checking the bills. The security threads are also the hardest feature to counterfeit. Watermarks and color shifting are easily defeated.

[moregunsarebetter]

They're all fake money. Gold and silver is real money!

Have you ever been given a fake $100 bill? I'd be interested to hear your stories in the comments below!

[MaNUeLLeUNaM]

Awesome video, especially after having the unfortunate experience of accepting that I've got to accept that I had unwittingly accepted a total fake AF bill like a dummy!!! It's so embarrassing having to be honest to myself about it but after watching this video now I know exactly where I ended up allowing myself to be had...on that note ty for making this, it's definitely the perfect info for anyone trying to not fall victim unsuspectingly...SMH...

[TriWaZe]

Thing I dont get is they add all these security features but the old 100s are still in circulation. So if someone was counterfeiting money. Why not just make the old ones and not even bother trying to bypass all these new features?

[Thebackflipdude]

If you didn’t know already, there’s actually red and blue fibers in the paper over the water mark. That’s another security feature my boss told me. I work at in n out

[carmgarcia]

Thank you so much for the info GOD BLESS you

Some ink is made of metal using a magnet it can lift the bill, pluss when shifting or turning the 100 printed by Benjamin the color changes.
