aye, but it was passed on to the OP by someone else so obviously s/he was owed 20 euro, to hand it into the Gardai is stupidity.

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe the counterfeiters are gettin really good!! I've seen a couple of dodgy notes alright now that i think of it....

Blisterman

Well, if everyone keeps passing it on, noone loses out. If you hand it in, you're out €20.

I heard of a fellow being offered €2,000 of fake notes for €100, but the clown just kept going back to the same Mcdonalds midday and got caught eventually.

Well if I am getting change of something and there are large notes in what I am recieving I will always check the notes. It's piss easy to do... Well we got trained in the bank to spot so kinda easier. But some of the notes are so crap anyone could tell them apart. Where did you get your fake note so we won't go their. It's amazing how many people do not get trained when working with cash...

Pass it on to someone who deserves it.
Like a pub.
Or an insurance company.
Or FAS.

Heh. I have to laugh at the FÁS bashing.

I could walk into any college in the country in the morning and be accepted for any course, but I'm actually going to take a FÁS course next March instead.

Yeah we see them around a fair bit in work.
Getting kind of good at spotting them now.

Spotting what exactly?

Frisbee

Spotting whether or not the note someone is handing you is a fake or not

I got one in town on a night out didn't cop it until I went back to get more drinks but it ended back up in the till it came from.

Overheal

our delivery driver came in one night feeling very proud of himself for getting the change of a 50 euro note for a 30 euro delivery.

Its always more fun when it happens to someone else.

I was given a northern Irish £5 note in London and when I went into the next shop the shop keeper told me it was fake and he will not take it. I spent the next 10 minutes arguing over the fact that just because he had never seen a northern irish £ it does not mean its fake.

I didnt get him to take it. I eventually passed on the legal tender to an actual English person. They are hard to find working in London in the service industry but if you look hard enough...............

Yep, different notes. The notes and coins in NI have Gerry Adams on them.

Last year the bastards in the local post office stole every single Christmas and birthday card sent to us. All the kids Christmas money and birthday presents were stolen en route. If anyone has any really dodgy forgeries they want get rid off you can put them in a Chruitmas card and post them to me. I'd love to see the miserable fukkers get nailed trying to pass dud notes. Anyone interested can PM for the address.

Different notes for each bank in NI I belive, all the same currency though. Same deal with Scottish banks as well printing their own money, good luck with using any of those notes elsewhere in the UK though.

Unfortunately it's true, the mother in law even sent replacement money via registered mail to make up for the stuff stolen earlier and that was stolen too. We spoke to the Mayor's office and we were told unofficially that if we took the complaint any further we were risking causing an all-out postal strike in the area. Thet said the post office was so unionised nothing could be done about the thefts which were epidemic. It seems they particularly target foreign mail. :mad:

NI money is next to useless, they won't accept it anywhere else in the UK.

Hagar, there's an international group that test and report this type of theft and shít postal service. My missus was using them for a while to test the postal service to Ballymun, where stuff was going missing from post, post opened and cash/items stolen from letters and packages.

I'll have a chat with her later, see if I can get the details about it all and will pass them on. It was free to use, all you did was report the letters received, if they had been tampered with etc., All details were kept completely confidential in regards who was using them to test out your countries postal service.

If you're interested anyway, I'll pass the details on later if I she can remember.

What do you expect?

Though it's not illegal - it's just not very smart. The person on the receiving end could end up saying they never received it. If it is lost in the mail the money is gone. Finally, there is no way to prove the money was ever sent. So depending on who you are sending it to and why feel free to take your chances.

Hope you got the €200 in the card I sent you. Don't mean to sound stingy but I never even got a thank you card from you. Still I can't wait for the reciprocity this year.

What he said.
Mature student and I guarantee you that I would be able to bullshít my way onto the most difficult of courses.
I'd fail the course, but I'd get a place anyway.

I remember there was a little skanger who used to come in with fake fivers and tenners, and simple ask for change. Every member of staff piss themselves laughing a the terrible quality. He kicked up a huge stink when we took them and wouldn't give them back.

So the manager went over with one of those money checker pens which fade away on real money and beside the chap wrote on the note.

"This note is a fake a f*ck!!! Please do not take any money off this little bollix"

When colour scanners / printers came out first, we used to print £20 (punt) notes (single side only), crumple them up a bit and drop them on the floor in pubs near closing time.

The laughs were great.... some punter would eye it up for ages and then try to innocently shuffle over and pick it up without being noticed..

As soon as they touched it they knew it was fake of course but watching the lengths some people went to trying to pick them up un-noticed was hilarious!

Had a few fake €50s in the shop where I used to work. Nailed a lad who came in with about €400 in (fake) 50's in a wad, with one real one in between them. He was as nervous as fcuk in the line coming up to the counter, shuffling the notes in his hands like he was gonna do some kind of card trick. I could tell from a fair distance they were fake as you get fairly good at noticing them when you handle cash all day.

Anyway, I took the note off him, pretended like I was going to put it in the till, and then looked up at him and asked him what the fcuk he was doing (bear in mind this was a family business so if someone tried to pass off a fake note they were effectively stealing directly from me). His face just dropped and he started to stutter that he got them from the bank and had no idea how they would be fake. He made the mistake of laying them all out on the counter as if to somehow prove their authenticity. I took the lot up (including the real one), got someone else on the counter and went into the back office to call the guards. I gave your man some BS about checking them for a second and then giving them back to him so he could go to the bank and sort his little "mistake" out with the bank.

Upshot was that he waited around for about five minutes before legging it. We got the reg of his car from the CCTV and the guards caught up with him and it ended up in court. Don't feel a bit sorry for the dickhead either.

Funny Story...

This one time I was given like €15,000 in fake money, was so happy I went to all these different places in my car and even managed to buy a property with it. Ended up doin some jail time and in the end lost everything.
