August 30, 200619 yr yeah so i go to pay for some stuff at a store and they run that crazy marker over and it comes up that color when the money is fake? That made a very intresting hour.
August 30, 200619 yr I like the dumb cashier that tested my ones. I told her it would probably cost as much to fake a #1 bill as its worth. That confused her, and it took her five seconds to resume checking my ones for authenticity.
August 30, 200619 yr All the time. we get fake money whenever we buy stuff at Canadian Tire. Its so popular, I’ve seen other stores take it on par.

August 30, 200619 yr We have a lot of Canadian Tire money sitting around as well. We never use it though.

August 30, 200619 yr I tried but the cashier didn't think the "Land of Parker Brothers' " currency was any good here. I was even willing to trade Pensylvania Railroad AND a get out of jail free card for that slurpee. But I have used Canadian Tire money to pay for stuff at places other than Canadian Tire.
August 30, 200619 yr Yep-starting to see that more and more around here... But than again Cman- can it surprise you that it comes from the state with the highest unemployment rate? Someone around here needs to make the money... Better yet-they just nailed someone in NOS's home town for bleaching bills... I guess NOS was really saving for his new camaro...
August 30, 200619 yr I was at a J-Body Bash in Ohio a couple of years ago and some douche broke into my car and took my daytimer, which had C-Tire money and my personal cheques in it. The cops found it in a dumpster a couple of days later. Seems the thief decided to take the Crappy Tire money, but leave the cheques. Woulda LOVED to see the look on his face when he tried to exchange it
August 31, 200619 yr Better yet-they just nailed someone in NOS's home town for bleaching bills... I guess NOS was really saving for his new camaro... 186956[/snapback] lmao They did? Over here in Chesterfield? I didn't even hear about that..
August 31, 200619 yr I bought a big bag of washers at a garage sale for $3.00 that were the same size as quarters and I didn't pay for a single pop machine pop or arcade game for a solid month. 187217[/snapback] Wow... that's awsome. Neer tried it, you must have lucked out on the exact size/weight. Rock on!
August 31, 200619 yr Author lol thats very true dave. hmmm.. i wish i had a couple of those washers to try out. since i have an old pinball machine in my basement. and after partys there is some wierd crap peopl try to fool the money sensor in there. i havent found anything yet that fooled it yet. but the thing is a 79' so it bet its easier to beat then the newwer laser/electronic sensors.

There are these light scanners now for the newer bills. If you pass the part with the little strip inside the money under the light, it will show up as a certain color. We have them here at the bank. The reason that marker is not always accurate is because sometimes money gets washed, gets doused in some kinda of chemical by accident, etc.. This can throw off the chemical reaction that causes the marker's chemicals to come up as the wrong color. That is why most banks (around here anyways) no longer go by the marker.
