Perhaps you guys have heard of “peelers” the folks who used to split high-denomination bills with a razor-blade through their thickness and then paste these tow “peels” on either side of another split low-denomination bill. If handed quickly to a mark, he’d have no idea to check the other side to confirm denomination. You could turn a ten dollar bill into two ten dollar bills with a razor, a one dollar bill, and little bit of time.

Folks who got caught doing this tended to get their fingers broken and/or their hands smashed with a hammer by their victims. Very dangerous.

I hate thieves of any kind … one of my workers not at the farms … got passed a 100 counterfeit last week … the whole scam she pulled on him was slick … I hear they are even faking 20s now … wish he would have had the counterfeit pen with him … he does now …
