r/papermoney

I have recently become a bit discouraged that certain individuals are so seemingly disjointed from reality that I'm hearing about their Mod practices when I'm several subreddits over...so I decided to poke the bear...

Honestly, I can't stop laughing... how do people like this actually exist?

These unhinged assholes banned me for being really excited about some really cool notes.

I asked them if what I said was wrong and they replied in all caps like lunatics and perm muted me to go along with the ban.

I’d been a member of that sub for a few years and this was out of nowhere it seems.

What’s the story here?

Has anyone else run afoul of the mod on r/currency sub. Whatever I said -and I have zero recollection what it was - wouldn’t have been egregious I’m sure. I thought I recall a post about unhinged maniac running that?

Just added a bunch of notes to my collection and wanted to share. Got at face value.

They are in rough condition, but I am thrilled to have that Black Eagle in my collection. Will upgrade it in time, but I really like worn notes like that. Paid $140 for the pair

The smaller silver certificate I found 27 years ago, was the only one i have ever found in the wild.

It's condition is really rough, but the Eagle is still pretty firm even though it looks like it's been folded a thousand times.

Fancy radar? My first one ever!

So my family member works in trade and gets these a lot from buisness partners. Almost every time I see him he hooks me up with something nice. This time I got 7 $100s for free and a 5 dollar bill.

I'm still new to this stuff so I wanted to know if these are real since from what i see, the serial number isnt from a uncut sheet so i dont think they are fake, how desirable they are and what kind of price they'd go for.

Because based on the prices I'm seeing online I might just freeload for the rest of the year and start visiting my uncle every single week.

Thanks for any help in advance, ebay always has dumb people selling something for extremely high for no reason so i dont really trust them and prices vary a lot with these things.

Hello! Today I closed at my store and I’ve been a regular associate for a little under two years now. A few months ago they hired this woman named Rachel as a new sales lead and prior to this bill we got today she’s already accepted counterfeit bills three times. This one would be the fourth. Anyways, this old woman came in to purchase some stuff and hands me this bill at the register. It felt like regular copy paper and the watermark on it looked goofy to me. I called her up to the front and asked her to verify the bill and she said it was good. I laughed a little and thought she was kidding but no, she was serious. I didn’t want to argue because she’s known for having a stuck up attitude and she always has to be right or else. I took a picture of it and sent it to the actual store manager to she what’s she thinks. I’m still waiting for a response but I wanted to get another opinion to see if maybe I’m the one that’s wrong lol

Got these as a gift a few days ago, and they all look pretty different in terms of print quality. Can anyone let me know how to tell if they’re genuine?

I saw a discussion from yesterday about this particular banknote and I wished to share a genuine example and its safety features. I am by no means an expert, and I don't know the full story of officially issued banknotes vs emergence of domestic counterfeits vs foreign counterfeits but I'll give some tell-atale signs which can help collectors determine if note is genuine:

•Print is generally more sharp and precise;

•Watermark is poor, but it gives off sparingly that floral pattern, visible on the reverse where denomination value is (see pics 4 & 5);

• Holographic wavy green lines (pic 6) are apparent, running through the holographic stripe, whilst on counterfeit notes these lines are running under the strip (Info and pic 7 obtained from http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/ASI/IRQ/IRQ0089.htm);

• Genuine notes are with UV fluorescence (metalic strip glows green under UV at 365 nm and it also has arabic insrciption (see pics 8 & 9 );

•IR shows patterns of deeper print (I know such scanner is not readily available).

Hope this helps.

My dad found this one a long long time ago - I was curious if anyone knows the potential value as I couldn't seem to find anything like it on here.

Anybody kind enough to tell me the value of this one?
