Counterfeit money
On the rise in the UAE apparently. If you get caught with one (or passing it on) you are doing bird - no excuses. So, be careful.

Re: Counterfeit money
- I must admit I never check my notes here- I used to work for securitas many years ago- soul destroying work! minimum wage and hourly targets of millions of pounds- seriously depressing! I used to work nights in the sorting office where we would use a big machine that sorted the money and repacked for atm machines- anyway it used to sift out the fake notes and some of them were pure comedy- 2 bits of paper stuck together with a bit of tin foil wedged in and the paper would be peeling apart- how anyone took the notes in the first place was beyond us. Lots of fake scottish notes as well- seems noone knows what a scottish note is legal tender! we used to get fake coins as well- why would anyne bother with fake 10 pence pieces? I also used to work in retail where we were often targeted by organised crime groups- loads of fake credit cards- again- some were proper bodge it and scarper jobs, bits peeling off etc- but when you have a dude whose built like a brick shit house possibly carrying a weapon its funny the things you can pull off!

Re: Counterfeit money
it doesn't look very different except one has had the end chopped off for whatever reason.
The only sure fire way to know if its real is by the grade of the paper and ink and this can actually be checked easily enough. Strangely enough by licking it.
the fake one will seem like normal paper, while the real one will taste like a cat's arsehole.

Re: Counterfeit money
yes I get that, but I meant that if you can get all the other bits right how would you not be able to get the chopped part right.
I suspect it is a bad batch of prints which should have been scrapped but somehow made it out of the mint.
