One other thing at the bank. If you bring a fake bill and the bank catches it, they have to seize it and pull it out of circulation. A lot of customers get choked when I did that, but I think the RCMP orders the bank to do that or sth. If tellers don't catch the fake when taking in the money, but discover it later on... the bank takes the hit. So there are some bank customers that play dumb and DO try to dish it back to the bank and some customers who genuinely didn't know that it was a fake. Either way if its discovered, you lose the bill. I think the most you can do to get back at the counterfeit system is take the fake to the police for investigation. They will write you a receipt, but pretty much that money is lost to you. I left the bank a LONG time ago, so things might have changed. I'm sure there are other rs members that work in a bank that can give you guys more updated info
p.s. the lower denominations are usually the fakes $5, $10, $20s b/c you don't question it. We use them so often. With $50 and $100 bills they are rare, so people tend to scrutinize it before taking it in.
Now their policy is to take any bills that they find questionable out of circulation, and the bank writes you a receipt.
The Bank then sends the money to the RCMP or the Bank of Canada, who will review the bill to see if it is real or not, then return it back to the person if it is real... yeah i know, a pain in the ass. If it isn't real, if I remember correctly, they don't issue it back to you.
Sucks that you got scammed man, as somebody mentioned above, take your time looking at the bills, and request that only $20s be used. Better to wait a few extra weeks than to give something away for free. Counterfeits generally cost too much and is not so much worth the time to make any fake bills with a demoniator lower than $50, but maybe now with a lot of places not accepting $50s and $100s they will start making $20s.
To Check the new bills, run your finger over the paper, normally it feels really crisp. If held up to a light, a face watermark appears, and the number of the bill denominator will match up. (20, 50, 100) Check the number, it is supposed to be sewn in. And on real Bills, the words "Bank of Canada" are legible till the very last letter. Counterfeit ones usually smudge somewhere near the back. If held up to a blacklight, a "BANK OF CANADA" logo will glow in the middle of the bill.
^Everytime I go to the states, I withdraw cash to go, and usually the cash I get from the bank are new. So everytime I buy something with a 50 or 100 they draw a big ass line through the middle of the bill to check for authenticity. Which makes me wonder... does the next store to check it still draw another line? or just trust the line thats already drawn, since its still in circulation LOL.
I don't know if this was mentioned before. But new bills have dots for the blind (or at least that's what I heard). The dots are spaced differently depending on the value of the bill.
It's called braille. Blind people use it to read books.

This guy called me to buy a Blackberry and he gave me counterfeit 100s. They were two young brown guys driving a mazda 3. BE AWARE. If anyone catchs these fools, let me know. 6047102373
anytime you deal with someone who says they don't have a cell phone you know it's sketchy.. i learned this when i was sixteen and i bought a phone off this guy...
phone worked but it was a piece of shit.. lesson learned i guess.
but don't all the new notes have the holograms and shit?
Gonna play "Devil's Advocate".
If you had never took the time to take a closer look, and say you were completely oblivious to the fake bill.
And then spent it later (if it fooled you, possible it could fool others. Not every cashier scans bills. Let's say it was a 20, not a 100.).
Then what? No problem? Is this when we say "Ignorance is Bliss" ?

Explain... How's it stupid besides the fact you got rid of a counterfeit bill (without even knowing you had one.)
How does police deal with this though.
What if a person really was a victim and didn't know and ended up spending the money?
If someone got tricked in the first place by the initial touch/sight of the bill, good chances are he/she might not even notice later on.
Not everyone goes back home and examines their bills after it's in their wallet.

you drunk?
Sure some statistics show that they commit more crimes but...
are they not human beings? do they not deserve respect as well as anyone else?
I dunno I'm somewhat on his side as well, every Indian I've ever known has either tried to fuck over myself or someone I know, they are basically all losers who will scam even "friends" to get slightly ahead and the most successfull one I was ever aquainted to was pretty much the defintion of the word stereotype, nicknamed cheif, a full blown alcholic
I've got no time for em as well Posted via RS Mobile
you trusted a native to do anything but try to fuck you in any way they could. I dont care how racist it sounds, I will never EVER have a native friend, trust a native with a transaction, hire a native (even though I will get great joy in firing them), date a native slut, fuck a native slut, anything.
no matter what they are only in it to get what they can steal from the white man. That fake $100 was printed off of our tax dollars and was used to steal something from the white man (assuming you are white)
Fuck natives.
Ladies and gentlemen, Vancouver Island is in the house. And look, they brought their white hoods and cloaks.
Recently happened to a co-worker, didn't happened through CL, but at department store. She got fooled with a total of $900 fake 100s and 20s. Wonder if they're the same group of people.
Quick question. Planning on selling a big ticket item, I requested the seller to meet at the bank. Can I just ask the teller to verify if the bills are legit?
And if she says everything is legit and I deposit the money in the bank, is it safe to hand over the item to the person or what would be the best way or step in making sure I don't get fake bills?
