To see if its a fake bill, try putting water on the bill. If it was a printed bill, the water drop should smudge the ink. I have never tried this myself, but this just struck my mind!

First try and see if its fake, then deal it out with the person that gave it to you, or even the cops.

Nah, they'll just take the bill from you. I used to work at a bank and every once in awhile we would see counterfeits. By law they can't give it back, but unless you are purposely trying to pass it off, they won't call the cops.

Yea dont go to the bank, they'll take it away from you, the ultraviolet thing is the best way to check it.

to be certain just goto mcdonalds and buy a mcflurry with it and your problem is solved... you may want to wipe your prints off it if the cops have you prints on file though

it's fake..

color should come off.
u should see the purple dots under a black lite.

Bank will take it away..

I say use it at a restaurant, drop it in with your bill and leave... sucks, but even fake money has to flow through the economy..

Unfortunatly, you are wrong.


they will not call the police because you could inquire a counterfit bill through lots of stores/people and money exchange

look for the little green dots first and then check if the reflective sticker goes from green to gold, the waves on the bills are actually little "20" prints, and the writing behinf the big "20" print should say "bank of canada or banque of canada" in small letters
