Re: Counterfeit money being passed in cardrooms
[ QUOTE ]
why does him being a pro make him more likely to realize he was passing bad money? [/ QUOTE ] because he both handles more of it and values it more. not because pros are more likely to be cons. anyway, from what i know of this guy, he is more likely to knowingly pass a fake bill than a random person. this guy has definitely been around the block a few times.

Re: Counterfeit money being passed in cardrooms
[ QUOTE ]
those markers to check money [/ QUOTE ] They are useless, just a scam sold to paranoid business operators. Same with the little UV lights you see some places use. Counterfeiters most likely test their stuff with the things anyway; wouldn’t you? Blow the $1 next time you’re around a stationery store and buy one, then check a whole bunch of different kinds of paper. Many of them will pass. In my twenty some years in casinos I’ve seen counterfeit bills maybe half a dozen times – whenever one comes around they put copies of it on the podiums in the pit so everybody can see it. I caught one once myself while I was dealing BJ; looked good, felt funny. My shift boss had a fit because he had to take 2 days off to go to court. He told me “Next time just give them the chips and stuff it down the slot. Let the cage people go to court.”

The one I caught wasnt' a good fake at all, but the person with it clearly was not from teh US so there is a good chance they didn't know it was no good.

Re: Counterfeit money being passed in cardrooms
Story on local news tonight about C-notes being passed near Baltimore. Seems the crooks bleached some genuine fivers and used an inkjet printer to print C-notes on them. The bills passed the pen test. They also had the "thread". The watermark was still a picture of Lincoln.
