There Are a Lot of Fakes!
[QUOTE=TheRaven;425763]Thanks for all the good info guys. I've been packing / traveling all day. Just one more 10. 5 hour flight to go. I'll be there in the morning. One quick question. When looking over my bills for counterfeits what am I looking for? I have handled Argentina pesos before but I don't know how good the fakes are or if there is an easy way to spot them.[/QUOTE]The good ones are really good and the bad ones are really bad.
Xeroxed!
I have seen people rub the bills against a piece of paper to see if the ink rubs off I think.
That and you hold it up to the light to see the watermarks and thread, etc.
I have a nice collection of fakes from my Resto-Bar days.
There are a lot of fake dollars too.
The greatest forger in Argentina's history has been caught like 4 or 5 times!
They call him Picasso.
Then there are the North Korean "Super Dollars" which even the US Treasury has trouble distinguishing between real dollars.
