The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has a bunch of downloadable guides to tell cashiers and tellers (and ordinary folks) how to identify genuine currency.
So now seems like a good time to mention that a couple of new U.S. currency note designs came out while I was writing for Wise Bread, and each time I wrote a post or two about them:
- New $5 bill unveiled
- New $5 bill starts circulating today
- New $100 Bill Unveiled
- Counterfeiters Beware: Here’s How the New $100 Will Ruin Your Day
And, of course, I wrote a general article on spotting counterfeits.
