Checking the Cash Bills

Oh wow, I didn't know that. I use only credit cards these days except when I pay my neighbor for letting me put my trash in her bin. I suppose pretty soon they'll have to check $1's & $5's as well.

They do it here too a lot. The counterfeit is so bad here, they are checking every bill nearly.

They just check 100 yuan bills.I often use Wechat to scan two-dimension code to buy stuff.

Only big bills, they check the 200 Swiss Francs (equal to $ 220), they do not check the small bills in Swiss Francs. They check the EURO from the equivalent of $ 50.

That is a sad mess. I haven’t noticed.

In our country it's normal because the economy is becoming hard and people are becoming desperate and increase in crime rates are increasing at a higher rate.

Criminals are always looking for a new way to make $$$$. I would think making fake money would be pretty hard these days.

Wow that's crazy! Checking a $10 bill. I rarely use cash but thought it was on $50 or $100's too.

I have to check $50 and $100 bills at work. We don't have pens, though... I have to leave my register and walk over to where they keep the black light doodad by customer service. It's "only" ten feet, but I always tell my customers I'm going to step over there to put on a little show for the corporate overseers should they happen to review the cameras. My managers don't care if I do it, but one of the corporate goons threw an absolute fit when I took $1500 in 50's and manually verified they were all legitimate. None of them were counterfeit, but in wonderful corporate logic "they could have been and you wouldn't have known!" Uh huh, because they don't have watermarks and color-shifting ink in addition to the UV-sensitive stripes...

That was strange, but the employer makes the rules and she was following them. Here our smallest bill is a $5, we have coins for $1 and $2. Our money is made from a type of plastic, not at all like paper. I have not seen any of it being checked, even the larger bills, the stores are more likely to post signs advising that they do not take bills of $50 or over. My pay from my employer goes into my chequing account digitally, and I spend it the same way with my debit card. Just like cash, it comes in the front door and out the back door.

Since my relatives used debit cards to buy groceries, I do not know if the 10 or higher amount dollar bills are checked by the cashiers at Wal Mart.

My husband does all the shopping and normally charges everything. Have a great day.

Usually, I have seen this done with $20 bills quite regularly. But never with smaller denominations. Perhaps counterfeiting is on the rise due to inflation? Who knows. But I guess it doesn't hurt to double check.

I paid for some Exedrin today, and used a $10 bill. They used the same thing, a marker. I was surprised. Evidently there are even more crooks at work.

I wish I had ready sources of cash. I use debit cards mostly. I know the stores pay a percentage to credit cards for processing. I am not sure if it is the same with debit cards. Shame you cannot trust anyone or anything these days.

Not a 10..I am not sure about 50's but I know they do it with 100's.

never here, but before paying I look at the list of items I bought because sometimes the price doesn't match what is stated.

I mostly use my debt card for items I buy at stores.

I rarely pay with cash anymore but I do remember our stores checking $20 bills and anything higher.

Yes cashiers here check the bills it is annoying using gadget to check as if we're thieves .
