If the USA note counterfeits are similar to the ones in the UK there is
no massive work involved by the counterfeiters as a very poor fake will
pass very easily.

I of course do not possess any counterfeit notes but if I did you would
be surprised at how poor they are. :-)

One note that I don't have has a pencil line for the security strip and
it's about 1/2 an inch from the correct location for it, it was passed
to a local shop.

The level of detail in the "engraving" is low and fuzzy.

Shop staff don't scrutinise notes they just bung them in the till.

Sure would be interesting to see a display of counterfeit $20s etc. I'm
sure the feds destroy them ASAP and even though its illegal to have
one(?) it would be nifty to see some of the fakes so one might more
easily identify them from the real McCoy. IMO it'd be amusing to see
the massive amount of work involved by the counterfeiters.
