<pre class="k9mail">I just hope nobody "made change" and took $100 worth of twenties when they <br />put that fake bill in there.<br /><br />-jake<br /><br />Mitch wrote:<br />Last night (Monday) was a hopping night at Noisebridge, as it often is. <br />Lots of happy people soldering, learning how to make websites, playing <br />with LED lighting, and lots of other cool things. And a bunch of people <br />donated cash into our donation box.<br /><br />When I went home, I grabbed the cash from the donation bin. Someone had <br />put in a $100 bill, inside of an envelope.<br /><br />Today, I went to Wells Fargo Bank to deposit all the cash, and the teller <br />looked at the $100 bill kinda funny. "I hope that is real", I said. He <br />said, "I don't think it is. Let me show it to my manager." She was on <br />the phone, but in less than a glance, she waved her finger and shook her <br />head. It was counterfeit! I wish they didn't have to keep the bill, <br />otherwise I'd
give a photo of it. The printing was really good! But it <br />was missing a watermark, and though they added a little strip inside the <br />bill, the strip was not perpendicular to the edges of the bill.<br /><br />So, the teller deposited the rest of the $53 into the Noisebridge account. <br />"Thanks for taking this so well.", the teller said.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Mitch.<br /><br /><hr /><br />Noisebridge-discuss mailing list<br />Noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net<br /><a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss">https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
