Carl -

Thanks.

"...The fake bills were first confirmed with a special pen that when marked on a counterfeit bill shows brown in color. On real currency the pen's marking is invisible, Godfrey said...."

To change the subject, does this ring any bells?

The other day I made emergency change in a convenience store for a $100 bill for a girl who would otherwise have been unable to buy state lottery tickets.

When I later used the bill in a supermarket for a $24 purchase, the cashier made a mark on the bill with a marker pen and the result looked brown, and certainly wasn't invisible. I didn't have a clue as to what she was doing, but this article might give a clue. Since I am still free on my own recognizance ( or something ), I wonder if the supermarkets realize that the homemade counterfeits are just as good as the real counterfeits. -g-

Regards, Don
