ALL stores should have devices to check the authenticity of currency above $20 bills. It’s a no-brainer.


Or we could actually arrest and incarcerate these criminals for a time long enough to provide a deterrent.


The secret service is contacted whenever there is counterfeit money


I find it ironic that no one ever asks for ID for credit card sales but If I have a 6pac of beer it’s not only require but they scan your ID. Cops can’t require you to give them your ID, just show it.
