Fake or Real Quiz

Take the Quiz: Can you tell whether these bills are fake or real?

You’ll have to scroll to the bottom for the questions that go with each of the five pictures (always the same… fake or real?). The Quizzin plugin just wouldn’t let me use images as the question. I tried all day and gave up. So here’s the quiz in a bit of a rudimentary form. Good luck!

I got them all right! :)
I need to get in the habit of checking bills. I’m bad about that. Thanks for the reminder!

I pretty much only check 50s or 100s. Sometimes I forget but I think (or maybe hope) if I had a fake in hand it would feel weird and I’d check it. Who knows?

Cheers, Liz. Thanks for stopping by.

I got them all right too! Tricky, though – I thought just checking for the watermark was enough, and I realized that wasn’t the key to identifying the fakes in your quiz (good work!). I think I’ve only seen a fake 10, actually – and it was VERY obvious.

The 50 is a pretty good fake. When you see it next to a real one, you can tell it’s fake, but alone it would be hard to spot. Seems they might be getting better at counterfeiting. The strip though… that’s a hard one to accomplish. I watch the girl in the supermarket below me feel each bill. She handles so much money everyday, I bet she can spot a fake even when blindfolded.
