That's similar to how to spot fake UK £'s too :)

lol, nice vid SS. ^^ Me thinks that not many of the members here on the forum (myself included) would actually have $100 bills lying around, but still, thanks for sharing. :)

But wouldn't it work for any $ bill? I live in England so have £ notes anyways, but to check if they're fake you hold it up to a light or scribble with this blue pen thingy. I hardly ever check though, doubt anyone would go into a charity shop and use fake money.. I mean not willingly knowing it was fake at least.

lol, most likely, but yeah, I highly doubt anyone truly does take the time to do that, unless required to from their job or something. :)

In holland we've got these blacklight lamps where you keep the bill under, and you see a watermark lighting up. It was actually the most interesting part of my job as a cassier back when I was 16 :mega:

£20 notes, £5 notes, whichever, you just hold it up to the light and see if you can see the watermark :)
I think there is also something that if you shine UV light on the note, it shows something up
