Bring one of those special pens?

They don't work on some paper. Newsprint paper doesn't react as well.

I used to work for US Bank, and I can spot a fake pretty easily only because I was fondling currency for 8 hours a day.
I did discover a few fakes, and discovered some that didn't react to the pen.

It looks like the pens will also be completely useless on some newer bills like the redesigned 100s.

Ty for the post.

The Oregon state government has a track record of criminals high up. Remember the the prison purchasing agent everyone thought was so great, he was great at taking bribes. Years ago there was something with the highway dept.

Neil Goldschmidt comes to mind when you talk about high level criminals in Oregon

How could I forget that one. I met him once in '71-'72 when he was running for city council seat. I wasn't impressed, seem way too slick for my liking.

The counterfeit bills that NK flooded the US was undetectable with the pens. The only thing they could not duplicate was the part that changed color when it was tilted. They were even fooling the banks for a while.

Are you trying to accuse me of trading stolen guns?
If so then where did you grab that idea out of besides your behind?

I don't think anyone here thinks that's what he meant.

Sorry I had a bit to drink when I wrote that. :drunk:

I've never had much luck with the pens, for some of the reasons stated, the best thing I've found is one of those UV bill examiners.

I was in the IT Dept. some years back as a contractor.

exactly, they are inexpensive, can be left in your vehicle, and if the person gives you a look because you are using it, well, you probably don't need to continue and can tell them to shove the gun in their ASz and keep it. I don't feel sorry for the person who excepted the bills. I gave up being a trusting and truly caring character to complete strangers after the last 10 years noticing more and more people have become complete duesch bags or put on the I'm a good person act but still walk around away from those who they are pretending and trying to fool..., as what, yep, complete duesch bags.
