OT: Anybody know anything about how banks detect counterfeit $100’s?

This is because the black ink is actually printed on top of the paper and the black ink is microscopically higher than the paper. Conversely, any green ink is pressed into the paper. If you can feel the ridges in the jacket with your fingernail most likely genuine.

Kind of. Some xerox process printers, particularly the organic drum types, will produce raised letters under some circumstances, but they will not be able to produce the level green ink. No printers can produce the watermark. That is ‘in’ the paper. The xerox process prints are not as ‘stable’ as the US bill printing. I have had the ‘print’ peeled off a piece of paper by volatile compounds in plastic binders. That is because the ‘print’ on xerox process is actually fused plastic ‘dust’ on the surface of paper.

Best way to do this is do the transaction when the banks are open and have the buyer write a check and clear it at the bank that it was written on (with the buyer there). Clear it by converting it to cash at that bank. They will immediately check the account it is being drawn upon for sufficient funds.[/quote]

I’ve done this before…buyers don’t like the extra hassle of following me to the bank, but I make’em do it anyway.
